PATHANAMTHITTA: Devaswom Board President Kadakampally Surendran has said the motive of the people who created trouble in Sabarimala was Lok Sabha election and the government was able to overcome all those challenges.

“People with vested interests and political ambition as well as communal lunatics were able to baffle the people but they realised the truth in the end,” he claimed.

Kadakampally said that the government had to execute certain constitutional responsibilities and problems were created in Sabarimala during the pilgrim season after some tried to bypass the Supreme Court order. Kerala people finally realised that constitution and law and order situation were necessary for the progress of the country. “Keralities have been seeing certain people trying to sabotage the law and order situation in North India. Verifying the age of the women devotees is not the government’s botheration. All devotees will be given an opportunity to pray in the temple,” he said.
