The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare today told the Bombay High Court that it cannot allow the so-called ''gurus'' of the eunuch community to authorise/recommend removal of sexual organs.
The division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice R V More was hearing a public interest litigation filed by NGO `Salvation of Oppressed Eunuchs', seeking that eunuchs to be treated as "humans with fundamental rights", and they be given the right to vote.

Perhaps I'm just in a cynical mood today, but that report and the counters, apparently offered by the government to refute the demands of the Salvation of Oppressed Eunuchs seem rather too clear cut.
On the face of it, the rejection, by the government would seem to be utterly reasonable. That removal of sex organs be done by clinical experts and not lay people seems so reasonable, one is left asking why the Salvation of Oppressed Eunuchs asked for it in the first place.
But then again, perhaps they didn't.
Naughty government!!
