The Karnataka State Gender and Sexuality Minorities Coalition has written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi opposing the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill introduced in the Lok Sabha on March 13, 2026 by Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Virendra Kumar.  

Pointing out that the Indian legal framework, ever since the historic NALSA judgement, has been recognised for adopting a rights-based approach to resolving the problems faced by transgender community, the letter criticised that the proposed amendment sets the clock back on transgender rights.
