CAG and AIDS Threat

The Times of India in its editorial Outing is Best on 18th October has commented on the Planning Commission's suggestion to legalise Prostitution and homosexuality to face the threat of AIDS. Where the paper takes the readers for a ride is the sentence: "IN September, when a gay rights group appealed to the courts to amend Article 377 of the Constitution which deems homosexuality a crime, ".Article 377 of the constitution relates to Provisons as to Comptroller and Auditor-General of India. So where does a gay rights group fit in the case? The editor does not bother to tell us.The reader has to know that when the TOI refers to the Constitution it means the Indian Penal Code and it does not know the basic difference between an article of the Constitution and a section of an act.The Times of India has been going down the slope quickly but the uninformed writing on their edit page is a new low even by their standards.
