Sabarimala temple row: 51 women under 50 year age group entered Sabarimala, Kerala govt informs Supreme Court

As the Sabarimala row has taken a toll in Kerala, the Pinarayi Vijayan government has submitted a data to the Supreme Court claiming that ‘51 women below the age of 50 have entered the temple.’

“In a note, submitted in SC by the Kerala government, it stated that 51 women between the age groups of 10 and 50 years entered Sabarimala Temple following SC verdict,” tweeted news agency ANI.

Earlier, two women who entered Sabarimala temple had received back lash from the protesters and have moved the apex court to get security cover, as she was attacked by her mother-in-law.

The ‘Supreme Court was hearing the petitions of Bindu, a college lecturer and CPI(ML) activist from Kozhikode district's Koyilandy, and Kanakadurga, a civil supplies department employee from Angadipuram in Malappuram, who had entered the Sabarimala shrine on January 2.’

NDTV reported ‘Mr Hansaria submitted a list of 51 women in court in reply to a petition filed by Kanaka Durga, 39, and 40-year-old Bindu Ammini, who had entered the Sabarimala shrine on January 2 and approached the Supreme Court seeking protection following threats.’
