Summary:
The fight over protecting traditions of Sabarimala has a larger significance as this may have implications on Muslim and Christian communities as CPM is trying impede on their freedoms, he said. KOCHI: Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala said that the issue of allowing entry of women of all ages to Sabarimala is a battle between believers and non-believers and the final victory would be that of those who profess their faith.Addressing a UDF public meet at Marine Drive in Kochi , Chennithala said chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan is trying to mislead the Kerala society by positing this as a struggle between avarnas (lower caste) and savarnas (upper caste). Stating that the CPM along with RSS and BJP is attempting to turn Sabarimala into a conflict zone, Chennithala said the stand adopted by these organizations has created a dangerous situation.Reiterating that CPM-led LDF showed undue haste in implementing the Supreme Court verdict, he said the issue can be solved if the Parliament amends the Constitution or if the Centre brings out an ordinance..
