Let's all celebrate the freedom from Section 377 today: Abir Chatterjee
Abir Chatterjee is happy about the Section 377 verdict that was delivered by the Supreme Court and sees this as a welcome move towards a more progressive country. "Why must the constitution not bestow equal rights on all? Discrimination on the basis on one's orientation is unbecoming of a progressive country. It is amazing what the Chief Justice Deepak Mishra said while delivering the historic judgement: 'Take me as I am.' Matters of personal choice cannot be dictated by law then how can a person's right to love be criminalized? I thank the Supreme Court for freeing India of the regressive Section 377.
