After shedding khaki chaddi, RSS says homosexuality not a crime'

March 18, 2016

New Delhi, Mar 18: In a significant statement, the RSS said on Wednesday that gay sex was not a crime.

To a question on whether homosexuality is a crime as considered under Article 377 IPC, RSS joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said, at an event organised by India Today group, "I don't think homosexuality should be considered a criminal offence as long as it does not affect the lives of others in society."

rssHe added, "sexual preferences are private and personal. Why should RSS express its views in a public forum? RSS has no view on that. It is for people to have their way. Personal preference of sex is not discussed in RSS and we don't even want to discuss that."

Section 377 of Indian Penal Code terms homosexuality as unnatural and carries a maximum punishment of 10 years in jail. Going by the global trends in this regard, there have been demands within the country to decriminalise homosexuality.

On the other hand, Hosabale accepted that RSS sends "signals" to the BJP-led government at the Centre but dismissed suggestions it held a "remote control" over it.

"There is no control, but certainly remote is there. Remote is there, signal is there. RSS is not having any remote control on BJP or any other political party. RSS swayamsevaks are working actively and are participants in BJP. BJP also subscribes to certain views and ideology of RSS and the inspiration they take in public life. If family members come to RSS for suggestions, is it remote control or affection. There is no complaint from BJP and there is no wish from RSS," he said.

Asked if RSS was an 'extra-constitutional authority' in the present government, he said, "Where is the extra- constitutional authority? We are not doing any hide and seek. Presentations at RSS meeting is not wrong. If they make presentations before RSS, they can make presentations before this conclave. It is a democracy. We have every right to make suggestions to any government."

Rejecting criticism that RSS gave diktats to the Modi government, he said RSS swayamsevaks are working actively in BJP and they are like "family members".

Hosabale said in a democracy the RSS can make suggestions to any government of the day, be it BJP or Congress, even though Congress will not listen to them.

"We are proud that RSS has produced two prime ministers. Both are listening to the voice of the people," he said, adding both Vajpayee and Modi listened to them. Vajpayee also listened and Modi also is listening. But, listening does not mean he is heeding (to) it. We are proud. I wish Vajpayee also had the opportunity to become prime minister at Modi's age," the RSS leader said.

RSS is the group of gay and homosexuals.

Modi left his wife to have fun with RSS camp.
Indirectly RSS inviting innocent youth to fulfil their desires. They already declared that Homosexuality is not crime. RSS will bring all swamis and kumbmela swamis all together under one shelter for their desires.

Those who support such evil, Can you bring up your son or daughter to do the same act... If U cant digest, then dont try give your opinion of supporting it. Bachelor's CLUB is not the saviour of HINDUISM which also favors natural law... Bachelor's CLUB have an EVIL agenda to spread corruption and disrupt the natural law... Dear RSS members recognize this agenda now or U will also be one who will be on the CURSED list of the CREATOR who CREATED us... which will have a permanent punishment if intelligent people support such evil on this earth. ..... Learn who is the CREATOR and dont sit idle without voicing out on the EVIL agenda.

George, Ganesh ... Unkown,,,,
1.It Violates Natural Law : Marriage is not just any relationship bt human beings. It is a relationship rooted in human nature and thus governed by natural law.
natural law's most elementary precept is that GOOD is to be done and pursued, and EVIL is to be avoided. By natural reason, man can perceive what is morally GOOD or BAD for HIM. He can know the end or purpose of each of his acts and how it is morally WRONG to transform the means that help him accomplish an act into the act's purpose.
Any situation which institutionalizes the circumvention of the purpose of the sexual act VIOLATES natural LAW and the objective norm of MORALITY>
Being rooted in human nature, natural law is universal and immutable. It applies to the entire HUMAN RACE, equally. IT commands & forbids consistently, everywhere and alwz.
2. It alwz denies a CHILD Either a FATHER or a MOTHER
3. It validates & Promotes the homosexual lifestyle (Women should worry most)
4. It turns a moral wrong into civil rights.
5. It does not create a FAMILY but a naturally sterile union
6. It defeats the state's purpose of benefiting Marriage
7. It imposes its acceptance on ALL society
8. It is the cutting edge of the sexual revolution
9. It offends the CREATOR who CREATED U & ME and all that exits

Bengaluru, Feb 4: Congress MLA UT Khader on Tuesday alleged that B.S. Yediyurappa-led government has stopped providing free food to poor families under 'Anna Bhagya' scheme from last two months which was started by the Congress in the state.

"Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had started a scheme 'Anna Bhagya' under which free rice and wheat to 494 education institutions, NGOs, and old age homes were provided and the present government has stopped providing benefits to the poor people," said the MLA.

Alleging that the present government has stopped with the scheme Khadar said, "From last two months the government has stopped providing free food to the institutes and NGOs."

Khadar further demanded to restart the scheme to help the poor students.

"They should restart the scheme which supports poor students and old age houses, or congress will protest if the scheme is not restarted."

Last year in August, Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa had said that his government has no plans to stop any "pro-people schemes" including Anna Bhagya.

"Our government has no plans to scrap any of the pro-people schemes. Our Government is a pro-people Government. I have already signed the file to release grants to continue the "Anna Bhagya scheme" the twitter handle of Karnataka Chief Minister's Office had quoted him as saying.
