THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPI state secretary Kanam Rajendran has come forward supporting devaswom board president A Padmakumar's statement that young women should not enter Sabarimala till the end of this pilgrimage season. "Implementing women entry is not the government's agenda. The government has the constitutional responsibility to obey the supreme court verdict. However, this does not mean that 100% success rate should be there. Devaswom board has informed the supreme court that the verdict cannot be implemented in the current situation. There is no issue with devaswom board presidents' statement", clarified Kanam Rajendran.
enuine women devotees, please don’t come to Sabarimala,” requested Devaswom Board president A Padmakumar, taking into account the possibility of further clashes in Sabarimala of young women’s enter again.
“As lakhs of devotees are thronging Sabarmala, there are chances for danger if young women climb the hillock. The decision on women’s entry will be taken after Makaravilakku. Since there is no means to test the bhakti of women, it is find out the real devotees among them. Frequent coming of young women to Sabarimala is part of some conspiracy. We doubt whether they are coming to create trouble deliberately,” said Padmakumar.
