Sachin Pilot demands judicial inquiry into SDM slapping incident
Congress leader Sachin Pilot has demanded a judicial inquiry into the recent SDM slapping incident at Samarvata village during the November 13 bypoll in Rajasthan.
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.”
A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud refused to grant any legal sanction to same-sex marriage on Tuesday.
