Ayyappa  

Activist Rehana Fathima was arrested under IPC 295 A. She was arrested on November 27 by a team led by Pathanamthitta circle inspector for hurting religious sentiments of Ayyappa devotees.
 

Chanting ' swamiye saranam Ayyappa ' matra, Nair set himself ablaze after pouring petrol over his body and tried to run to the makeshift tent where senior BJP leader CK Padmanabhan has been staging indefinite fast.
 

BJP leader, MT Ramesh, said that the Ayyappa devotee took this extreme step in protest against the Kerala government's attitude towards the Sabarimala issue. He also pointed out that the devotee was annoyed by the government’s irresponsible approach towards the BJP.
 

S Sreejith broke down in front of Lord Ayyappa at Sabarimala on October 22. A photograph capturing his emotion had gone viral. Following the controversy of the Kerala government appointing an Ayyappa devotee cop, he was relieved from Sabarimala duty.

Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan took to social media to comment against the BJP following the election results in the five states. However, victims of the recent deluge as well as those protesting at Sabarimala temple retaliated to say, 'practice what you preach'.

While prohibitory orders have been imposed in and around the Sabarimala shrine, Ayyappa devotees in Tamil Nadu staged a protest against Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan

Rajagopal clarified that, while these demonstrations were distinct from the one held at the shrine against the attempted violation of Lord Ayyappa's tradition in Sabarimala, this protest for better amenities would add to the BJP's pressure on the LDF government in Kerala

Kerala Police arrested devotees, who were just chanting ‘saranam’. Ayyappa devotees protested in Kannur, Kerala, against the government's irreligious stand on Sabarimala issue.

In the photo, Rehana Fathima was seen squatting awkwardly and mildly exposing her naked legs. She has been arrested under IPC Section 295 A. 

Rahul Easwar was on his way to Sabarimala with the irumudi (an offering for Lord Ayyappa) when the police detained him at Nilakkal. Meanwhile, Ranni court has again rejected the bail plea of BJP state general secretary K Surendran in Kerala. 
 

A mass protest was called on November 24 in Tamil Nadu's Ramanathapuram against the police brutality in Sabarimala

The high court ordered the state government not to stop devotees from chanting of 'sharanam' but to allow devotees to go alone or in groups to the Sabarimala shrine of Lord Ayyappa

BJP president Amit Shah on November 20 had said that the Kerala government is treating Ayyappa devotees like Gulag prisoners

 

Reshma Nisanth, Sanila and Dhanya held a press conference at Kochi. While they remained adamant that they would enter the shrine, the demand enraged devotees of Lord Ayyappa.
