Court has respected sentiments of millions of Indians and declared homosexuality a crime: Baba Ramdev

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court pronounced its verdict on a bunch of petitions challenging the Delhi High Court judgement decriminalising gay sex among consenting adults in private.

Talking to the media about the Supreme Court's verdict, the yoga guru said, "Court has respected sentiments of millions of Indians and declared homosexuality a crime. Homosexuality is not genetic. Its just a bad addiction. I can cure it. We along with some Muslim and Christian groups had filed petitions against HC verdict, and are happy today."

Baba Ramdev also went on to ask, "What is the contribution of homosexuals to the world? In the field of science, economics etc? If our parents were homosexuals then we would not have been born. So it's unnatural."

Ramdev ended by saying, "I pray to god that none of you (journalists) sitting here turn homosexuals."
