Reacting sharply to the arrest of the diplomat, former external affairs minister Yashwant Sinha said the government should hit back by punishing same sex companions of US diplomats in India following the Supreme Court ruling on gay sex.
“Media has reported that we have issued visas to a number of US diplomats’ companions. ‘Companions’ means that they are of the same sex. Now, after the Supreme Court ruling, it is completely illegal in our country, just as paying less wages was illegal in the US,” the senior BJP leader said referring to visas issued to same sex ‘companions’ of US diplomats living in India.
Thank you for the link.
From same link:
“JD(U) also criticised external affairs minister Salman Khurshid for meeting a US Congressional delegation though Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, home minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar refused to meet them in protest against the behaviour meted out to the diplomat.”
Salman khurshid is a Moslem. Apparently, he didn’t find demeaning a female diplomat by a government full of Islamists is so deplorable!
