Activist Trupti Desai  

Women's rights activist Trupti Desai landed at the Kochi airport around 4 am on Tuesday to visit the Sabarimala temple. She has sought police protection for her visit. Earlier when Bindu Ammini tried to enter the shrine, she was attacked with a pepper spray.

One of the two women who managed to enter the Sabarimala temple was attacked with pepper spray when she was entering the shrine. Ammini and Activist Trupti Desai had reached the Kochi commissioner office to seek police security.

 Ahead of the opening of the Sabarimala Temple, Kerala devaswom board minister K Surendran had on November 15 said the state government will not provide protection to women devotees visiting the temple. Those who need protection should get an order from the Supreme Court. However, women’s rights activist Trupti Desai has stated that she will visit the shrine after November 20, whether or not she is given protection. 

Trupti Desai, who is fighting for women’s entry in Sabarimala temple, was heading towards Shirdi temple along with other protesters to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will be visiting Shirdi temple today.

Not only Shiv Sena, a section of Keralites and many other people around the world, have raised their voice against the Supreme Court verdict.
