THRISSUR: MP and actor Suresh Gopi has said that the Sabarimala issue is a matter of life and life struggle. He made the statement during a recent interview with an online channel. Suresh Gopi also took the opportunity to lash out at Devaswom Minister Kadakampallly Surendran over the Sabarimala issue.

"No one is allowed to talk about dollars, deep-sea fishing row, or problems related with kits.No discussions should take place regarding Swapna Suresh or Saritha Nair. Isn't that why the great Devaswom Board Minister himself thought that he could bring up the Sabarimala issue to close everyone's eyes and nose. Didn't he show a fraud activity by doing so?" Suresh Gopi said.

He also said that none of his party leaders demanded to make the Sabarimala issue the main topic ahead of the elections."As far as the people are concerned, the Sabarimala issue, the kit issue, dollars and solar are major topics. The NDA requires five years for an auditing and then everyone would realise who we are and what we are capable of," he added.
