Sangh Parivar  

While the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has decided to hold its Ram Mandir-centric Dharma Sansad on January 31 and February 1, Saraswati in his own version of a separate Dharma Sansad on Wednesday tried to get ahead of the Sangh Parivar on the temple issue

Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan briefed the governor P Sathasivam on the incidents of violence in the state following the entry of two young women into the Sabarimala temple 

With the hartal called by Hindu groups on January 3 following the entry of two women into Sabarimala, the governor of Kerala had asked the chief minister to submit a report. Pinarayi Vijayan’s report blamed Sangh Parivar of planned attacks.

An estimated half a million devotees throng Sabarimala every year for darshan on the auspicious day. In 2011, 104 devotees, who had come to witness the Makara Jyothi, were killed and over 40 devotees were injured when a jeep ploughed into the pilgrims at Pulmedu, Kerala. While some of the victims died on the spot after getting trapped under the wheels of the jeep, the accident created panic among the devotees, resulting in stampede.  
 

Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan stated that the BJP wants to destroy law and order of the state. He even threatened to arrest the protesters and criticised BJP's suggestion of implementing President's rule in the state. BJP activists call him a liar stating that the onus is on the common man to address the problems of the state.

On Friday, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) had said Hindus were feeling "insulted" by the Supreme Court's declaration that the Ayodhya issue is not a priority and insisted that an ordinance would be needed if all options run out.

The Ujjain-based akhara, Mahamandaleshwar Lakshmi Narayan, and the organisation’s spokesperson Anita Ma, said the Ram temple would certainly be constructed in Ayodhya even if they had to irrigate the haloed land with their blood
