A moment of silence was soon followed by the problematic case of women entering the Sabarimala Temple, which emerged once again on Sunday with a great political fight in the state of Kerala, before a major case in the Supreme Court of India. The protest that Congress has requested that the government led by the left democratic front (LDF) clarify its position on the issue of young women entering the hill shrine of Lord Ayyappa.
The scandal has flung another round of verbal attacks between the ruling Communist Party of India ( Marxist ) and the opposition Indian National Congress in the most affected state, the poll-bound state. On Monday, the apex court will hear the review petitions and write petitions concerning its 2018 landmark ruling, which accepted that women of all ages could enter the temple.
In an interview with the press in Kochi, Leader of the Opposition V D Satheesan called upon Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to openly declare whether the state government still supported the affidavit which it had filed in support of the entry of women, or withdraw it. Satheesan blamed the government for asserting that the government has adopted an unclear policy by asserting that the state had to stand and have a clear and transparent stance before the court.
In the event that the government continues to endorse the admission of women, then it ought to back up its affidavit. If not, it must withdraw it. It could not be confused on such a sensitive matter, he told them, and that asking the court to buy more time would only point out the indeterminacy.
At the same time, AICC general secretary K C Venugopal also urged the LDF government to change its affidavit, considering that the way all of Kerala would be inclined towards taking a definite position. He wondered how the government could spare such funds to be retrogressive on a matter of constitutional and social concern with the Supreme Court hearing nearing.
