BJP, RSS, Congress and Hindu groups are up in arms against SC ruling lifting the ban on entry of women in Sabarimala Temple. Catch top developments at Business Standard
The gates of Sabarimala are set to open today. Tension prevailed in the morning in Kerala’s Nilackal after the police used force to disperse devotees opposing the entry of girls and women of menstrual age into the hill shrine. Acting tough, the police, deployed in large numbers in Nilackal, some 20 kms away from the Sabarimala hilltop, also removed a makeshift shelter erected by a protesting group Sabarimala Achara Samrakshana Samiti. The protesting group of devotees had been staging a sit-in chanting Ayyappa mantra in the shelter in protest against the Supreme Court order permitting women of all age groups to enter the shrine. The BJP, RSS, Congress (BS)and Hindu groups are up in arms against a September 28 Supreme Court ruling lifting the ban on entry of women in the 10-50 age group into the temple, saying it will breach age-old traditions.
Here are top 10 developments on Sabarimala temple row
1. Police detain people protesting against the entry of women in the age group of 10-50 women to Sabarimala Temple.
2. Subramanian Swamy backs SC decision
Supreme Court has made a decision, but now you are saying that it’s our tradition. Triple Talaq was also a tradition in that way, everybody was applauding when it was abolished. The same Hindus have come to the streets now, said Subramanian Swamy.
It’s a fight b/w Hindu Renaissance and obscurantism. Renaissance says all Hindus are equal& caste system should be abolished. Because no Brahman today is only intellectual, they’re in cinema,business as well. Where is it written that caste is from birth?Shastras can be amended, he added.
