00:00 Congress has released its 2024 Lok Sabha Elections Manifesto.

00:06 In this video, we focus on a significant inclusion in the Congress Party's Lok Sabha Election

00:11 Manifesto, the promise to recognize civil unions for LGBTQIA+ couples if voted to power.

00:20 Congress Manifesto pledges LGBTQIA+ rights, civil union recognition.

00:26 In a groundbreaking move, the Congress Party unveiled its election manifesto, Nyaya Patra,

00:32 promising a range of progressive measures aimed at social justice and equality.

00:36 Among these, a notable highlight is the pledge to recognize civil unions for LGBTQ+ couples.

00:44 This commitment marks a significant step towards inclusivity and equal rights for the LGBTQIA+

00:51 community in India.

00:53 However, it's essential to understand that a civil union differs from marriage in legal

00:58 recognition and rights comfort.

01:01 A civil union grants specific rights typically associated with marriage but does not hold

01:07 the same recognition under personal law.

01:10 Last year, the Supreme Court's Constitution Bench refrained from legalizing same-sex marriage,

01:15 emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework to acknowledge civil unions.

01:20 Chief Justice D.Y.

01:21 Chandrachud in a minority verdict emphasized that the right to form unions should not be

01:27 restricted based on sexual orientation.

01:30 He underscored that discrimination on such grounds violates Article 15 of the Constitution,

01:36 which prohibits discrimination based on various factors.

01:41 In conclusion, the Congress's Nyaya Patra manifesto presents a comprehensive vision

01:46 for social justice and equality, encompassing a range of progressive measures.

01:51 Alongside guarantees such as the right to apprenticeship, legal protection for agricultural

01:56 produce pricing, and increased reservations for marginalized communities, the manifesto

02:03 notably includes promises to recognize civil unions for LGBTQIA+ couples.
