ALAPPUZHA: SNDP yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan took a dig at the NSS for staying away from the Women Wall. Some people don’t realize that time has changed. The allegation that government is forming the women wall for the entry of women in Sabarimala is totally baseless. The government is helpless on the Sabarimala issue. Instead of protecting the rituals, some are protecting authority, he said in an interview to a private channel.

The women wall to be formed today will be the biggest the world has ever seen. Even today, the backward communities are not able to enter temples. They have lost many rights in Sabarimala. When some are trying to make temples their personal property, the Left front has appointed backward communities as priests.

Meantime, he harshly criticised the NSS for not partaking in the women wall. It is not right for them to skip the wall to be organised by the government. Some think that they are the pope of Kerala. They don’t realise that time has changed. Many of the stands of the NSS are silly, he said.
