DUBAI: Congress leader K Muraleedharan came down heavily on Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Minister G Sudhakaran over Sabarimala issue. A minister calling tantri a monster is just because he belongs to a monsters group. A minister has no right to change the tantri. A group of uncivilised people have turned the state into a battlefield.

Murali said the chief minister, who is responsible to save Kerala from violence, is intentionally creating riots. Neither the chief minister nor the ministers are able to maintain peace and order in the state. If the UPA comes to power in the centre, will recommend for a legislation to protect the rituals in Sabarimala, he said.

Minister G Sudhakaran had told reporters that the tantri is a symbol of caste devil. He is not a Brahmin but a Brahmin monster. If a Brahmin becomes a monster, he will be a terror.
