No protection for activists at Sabarimala Temple: Kerala govt

| @justearthnews | Nov 15, 2019, at 08:09 pm

Thiruvananthapuram/IBNS: Even as the Supreme Court has allowed women of all ages to have an entry at the Lord Ayyappa temple in Sabarimala, the Kerala government on Friday claimed it would not take responsibility of the activists taking up pilgrimage and will not provide police protection to them.

"This is not a place for activism. This is not a place for activists like Trupti Desai to show their strength. We won't take them in. Let them go get a court order," Kerala Devaswom Minister Kadakampally Surendran told media.

The Supreme Court on Thursday referred the Sabarimala case to a larger bench.

The case has been referred to a seven-judge bench.

"The earlier situation was different, when there was a strong Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all ages to enter. That is not the situation now, given that the case is being heard by a larger bench," Surendran said.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had allowed the entry of women devotees to the temple.

As per the traditional practice, menstruating women are not allowed to enter into the temple where Lord Ayyappa is worshiped.

The top court on Wednesday referred the case to a larger bench in response to a review petition.
