SabarimalaVerdict

Two women Bindu and Kanakdurga in their 40s, accompanied by Kerala police has entered the Sabarimala shrine at 3.45am today causing massive anger amongst the Hindu devotees

'Ayyappa Jyoti', an event organised by Hindu devotees to express their opposition to women’s entry to the Sabarimala temple has become an instant success in the state of Kerala.

If Sabarimala petitions can be heard on an urgent matter, same can be done with the Ayodhya case, law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.

The 50 member group of women belong to a Chennai-based NGO called Manithi, which claims to work for women empowerment.

Venugopalan Nair, 49 while protesting against the state government, poured petrol over his body, set himself ablaze at around 2 am in the morning on Thursday.

BJP has come out strongly in support of the Ayappa devotees.

KP Sasikala took a jibe at Kerala police chief Loknath Behera saying that she hails the decision to reward the cops as they had to work at Sabarimala without even the basic amenities.

Modi's tenure can be described as a nationwide diagnostic test since we do not even know the extent to which our institutions have been compromised.

The suggestion was made by four women petitioners who claim to be devotees of Lord Ayappa.

The court said travelling in groups and chanting 'Ayappa Keerthanam' is a part of the pilgrimage and cannot be prohibited.
