Darul Uloom Deoband, the topmost Islamic seminary in India, was quick to react.
"Homosexuality is an offence under Islamic law and'haram' [prohibited] in Islam," Deputy Vice-Chancellor of
Darul Uloom Deoband Maulana Abul Khaliq Madrasi said today.
He also asked the government not to repeal Section 377 of the IPC which criminalises homosexuality.
