Expressing reservations against same sex marriage, Rajya Sabha <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/congress-to-bring-no-confidence-motion-against-bjp-govt-in-mp-assembly-session-23261266" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">BJP</a> MP Sushil Kumar Modi on Monday said that it would "shred" the delicate fabric of society.
Two judges can`t sit and decide such social matters. There should rather be a debate in Parliament and society, he asserted during Zero Hour in the upper house.
He alleged that some liberals are following the West blindly.
The Supreme Court is hearing the matter and has sought the Centre`s response on it.

A bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud issued notice on the plea.

Union of India..and NALSA v. Union of India."
