Summary:
The march was characterised by absence of any political party’s leadership, though quite a few leaders from the Congress and the BJP joined the march around Thripunithura town. Voicing their resentment: Ayyappa devotees in Thripunithura on Sunday take out a protest march against the Supreme Court verdict permitting entry of women of all ages into Sabarimala temple. In a first-of-its-kind protest in Thripunithura, temple committees in various places in the town gave the call for the march. Devotees raised their demand for a review petition in the Supreme Court to retain status quo in Sabarimala. As in other parts of the State, women devotees in large numbers took to the streets in registering their protest against the verdict..
