Pinarayi  

Rajeev Chandrasekhar told MyNation that the Sabarimala row was being used by the left government of Pinarayi Vijayan in Kerala to deflect attention from its own acute failures in governance. The first look of Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is out and it is hard to recognise the actor. All this and more on MyNation in 100 seconds.

The Nair Service Society came down heavily against the Kerala government. While the organisation criticised the chief minister for complicating issues and failing to protect the faith of the devotees, the NSS has also filed a review petition at the Supreme Court

Sabarimala has turned out to be an issue that raises the debate on right to equality and right to religion, says Mohandas Pai, in an exclusive interview to MyNation. Why doesn't CPI(M) stand for issues like the nun rape case or the beliefs of Ayyappa devotees?

 

Pinarayi Vijayan's move to let women enter Sabarimala in the middle of the night through the back door is a cowardly act. Devaswom Board is anti-Hindu. But the Ayyappa devotees have a two-way approach to fight this legally.

Massive protests were witnessed in Mysore Bank Circle, Bengaluru. Ayyappa devotees raised their voice against two women, who entered the Sabarimala temple in Kerala on Wednesday.
 

Widespread protests have broken out in Kochi, Kottarakara, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. BJP Mahila Morcha members are protesting at the secretariat in the state capital against the entry of Kanakadurga and Bindu into Sannidhanam on Wednesday. 
 

Earlier on December 23, Bindu and Kanakadurga attempted to visit the shrine but were taken back by the police due to security issues

Former state police chief Senkumar said to media that instead of building women's wall, Pinarayi Vijayan government should build homes for the needy. After the August floods in Kerala, thousands of homes were totally destroyed and many more were partially damaged. 
 

Manithi team’s women, who moved towards the Sannidhanam on December 23 to have darshan at Sabarimala had returned after a massive protest by the devotees. The Manithi group from Tamil Nadu had to withdraw their decision to enter the famous shrine after protesters chanting Ayyappa mantra surrounded them
 

The women's wall is being created primarily to seek support on issues such as entry of women into the Sabarimala temple. Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has sent out invitations to over 150 social groups. The support for the women’s wall, however, seems to be crumbling.
 

The Supreme Court verdict on September 28 allowing the entry of women of all age groups into Kerala’s Sabarimala temple had made the famous shrine a battlefield.
