New Delhi:
Less than 48 hours before the Sabarimala shrine in Kerala will be open to women of all age groups for the first time as per a Supreme Court ruling last month, thousands of Lord Ayyappa devotees, mostly women, continue to protest against the ruling. Earlier, the police had to try and control the angry protesters who turned violent and tried to break brigades. A massive protest today reached the Kerala secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram. Political parties and Hindu organisations have also been part of the 'Save Sabarimala' campaign.
One of the petitioners, Rahul Eashwar had earlier claimed that protesters would all sleep in front of the shrine when it opens on October 17 preventing them entry.
