The Congress on Tuesday said it is studying the Supreme Court verdict on the same-sex marriage and will issue a detailed response later.
The grand old party also said that as a party of inclusion, it has always stood with the citizens to protect their rights, and it firmly believes in non-discriminatory processes.
“On the same sex marriage and related issues, we are studying the different and differing judgments delivered in the Supreme Court today and will have a detailed response subsequently,” said Congress General Secretary in charge of communications Jairam Ramesh, reacting to the apex court’s verdict on the same-sex marriage.

Ramesh, who is also a Congress MP in the Rajya Sabha, added: “The Indian National Congress has always stood with all our citizens to protect their freedoms, choices, liberties and rights. We, as a party of inclusion, firmly believe in non discriminatory processes — judicial, social, and political.”
