AAP MP Sandeep Pathak, speaking in the House, said, “Our voice will continue to rise in support of the transgender community. We are committed to building an inclusive and sensitive society. Respect, equal rights and dignity are the right of every citizen of India.”
He further questioned the intent of the government, asking, “Does the BJP government now want to humiliate transgender persons by making them stand in queues to verify their identity?” Pathak demanded that the bill be sent to a select committee after consultation with the transgender community.
