But before he takes charge of the responsibilities as the member of parliament, his view on same-sex marriage in a tweet from last year, are being showered with praises on social media.
¡°Some are expressing 'concern' that #Section377Scrapped would be followed by demands for legalizing same sex marriage. Why not? Aren't ideas of marriage, inheritance & adoption mere legal fictions? Why can't these fictions have space for same sex couples? Natural consequence!,¡± he had written in a tweet earlier.
Now this tweet is getting shared on Twitter again.
Indian film and TV director Onir who is known for his works in films such as Bas Ek Pal, I Am and My Brother Nikhil among others, shared the tweet and wrote, ¡°Well said.¡±
