THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Leader of opposition Ramesh Chennithala demanded that the central government should involve in the Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all ages to enter Sabarimala temple. The central government and state government should bring an ordinance to overcome this verdict, he told reporters after the UDF meet.

“UDF is with the devotees in this issue. We will protect faith with through suitable method. We cannot make Sabarimala a land of conflicts. BJP and RSS have taken an opportunistic approach in this issue.  BJP did not support the case in the court”, alleged Ramesh Chennithala.

“Brewery scam is one of the biggest corruptions the state has ever seen. It is unfortunate that the government is not ready to investigate this matter. Why is the chief minister afraid of an investigation if everything is legal? Even party secretary Kodiyeri Bakakrishnan is keeping silence in the issue. UDF will stage several protests in all 140 assemblies on October 11, seeking the resignation of excise minister T P Ramakrishnan”, he said.
