SAME-SEX MARRIAGE: "The issue is related to our civilization, this is not something to be decided by 4-5 people. I have said that the Supreme Court is not the forum to decide its framework" : Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju) says in an interview with Vivek Bindra.
"Two people can have a relationship, we don't interfere. Same-Sex people can lead their life the way they want, they can travel, dance, eat, and sing, but when it comes to Marriage, it is not just a relation between two people. It is a system. It is related to our civilization"
"Going forward, we will push the use of regional language in High Courts as well. Whatever help is required, the Government will provide the same.": Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju)
"Parliament is the forum to discuss the framework of Same-Sex Marriage, not the Supreme Court. Whatever comes from the Court, we will discuss the matter in Parliament": Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju)
