Thiruananthapuram : The Muslim League leadership’s divisive stance on sexual minorities is not suited to modern socieity, said DYFI State Secretariat. KM Shaji’s statement that the LGBTQ community are a messy lot countrywide, should be viewed with utmost concern. Shaji described governments bid for gender equality as anti-religious and claimed that gender reassignment surgery was a wrong thing to do.
Shaji’s move sabotages government’s efforts to bring the marginalized community into mainstream. That’s deplorable, said DYFI in its statement. DYFI also asks for League and UDF leaderships to clarify if they shared Shaji’s viewpoint.
