KOZHIKODE: In the wake of the Supreme Court order allowing all women to enter Sabarimala temple, certain liberal Muslim organisations have expressed their willingness to take legal recourse for entry of women in all Sunni mosques.

A representative of Nisa, a progressive Muslim organisation based in Kozhikode, has said that they will soon file a petition in the Supreme Court, pleading for freedom of worship for all women, stipulated in the constitution.

Quran Sunnath society, founded by Chekannoor Moulavi, has also come out in support of women’s entry in Sunni mosques.
While, E K Sunni sect has taken the stand that they will not alter traditions, A P Sunni’s have not reacted to the women’s entry in Sunni mosques.

Meanwhile, statements made by CPM State Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and minister K T Jaleel have irritated a large portion of Sunnis.
