As an Ayyappa devotee, the pain that was there before has increased tenfold.

More worrying news is now coming out than what was known earlier.

The loot from Sabarimala is not limited to four and a half kilos of gold. Investigations have revealed that the Left Front's Devaswom Board has smuggled four more Panchaloha idols from Sabarimala and sold them to international criminal gangs.

What is most shocking is that even parts of the holy steps, which was renovated during the UDF regime in 2015, have been looted. So, justice will not be obtained just by arresting Unnikrishnan Potty or Vasu. There is a huge conspiracy behind this, which started during the Congress-UDF era and implemented during the CPM-LDF tenure.

This is not just looting. This is blasphemy. It is a betrayal of Swami Ayyappa and crores of Ayyappa devotees around the world like me. An SIT investigation alone will not reveal the whole truth. A CBI investigation is essential for that. Don't forget one thing - Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan initially tried to cover up this shameless corruption by portraying it as a 'mistake'. We will ensure justice for Ayyappa devotees.
