Ensure smooth pilgrimage season in Sabarimala Temple, NSS to TDB
Changanacherry/UNI: Nair Service Society has asked the Travancore Devaswom Board to work together to ensure that no trouble erupts as had happened during last year at this time.
"They should also ensure that mishaps happened during the previous year are not repeated this time", NSS said in an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Service'.
The venue of the hill temple and the routes leading to it had witnessed then fierce agitation and police action against the protesters soon after the 2018 Supreme Court verdict allowing entry of women into Sabarimala temple.
The decision of the court to refer the issue to a larger seven-member bench a victory of faith and the faithful.
When the case comes up before the seven-judge bench, the firm decision of NSS to protect the faith, customs and rituals at Sabarimala will continue.
The final verdict will hopefully favour the devotees, the editorial column by NSS general secretary G Sukumaran Nair said referring to the court decision on review pleas against its landmark verdict.
The undue haste shown by Kerala government and TDB to enforce the ruling of the court that allowed entry of women last year was the root cause of all the trouble.
NSS strives to protect faith in the God and traditional rituals. That is the reason why we stood with the devotees above caste, religious and political beliefs, it said.
