Entry Of Women  

As Supreme Court today will pronounce its judgment on the review petitions challenging Sabarimala verdict of September 28, 2018, related to the entry of women into the Ayyappa Temple in Kerala, we look at the series of events

The Supreme Court will announce its verdict on the entry of women in the Sabarimala temple. The top court will also review its judgment into the alleged irregularities in the Rafale jet procurement case. That apart, the apex court will decide upon the case against Rahul Gandhi for his “Chowkidar chor hai’ comment. 
 

On Wednesday, CPM's mouthpiece Deshabhimani carried a post-poll evaluation report, prepared by the party's central committee which was discussed during the two-day state committee meeting in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The report suggests that the issue of entry of women in Sabarimala temple made a significant impact in the 2019 Lok Sabha election. 
 

The Travancore Devaswom Board changed stance on the Supreme Court verdict allowing the entry of women into the temple has met the ire of the Pandalam royal family. Earlier, the Board had taken a stand against the SC verdict and sought more time to implement the verdict.

Kerala high court criticised the state government asking it to zero in on those visiting the Sabarimala temple with an agenda. The court also pointed out the inefficiency of the police force.
 

On Nov 30, 2018, the Kerala high court ruled that gender-based restrictions cannot be imposed, and therefore lifted the unofficial ban on entry of women to the Agastya Mala.

A total of 260 people have been arrested so far in connection with the violence in Kannur in the last two days following the entry of women into Sabarimala

 

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?

 

Protests against the entry of women in the Sabarimala temple turned violent after the CPI(M) and the BJP protesters fought in Thiruvananthapuram.  Four police officials were injured as bombs were hurled.

Women's wall is a programme initiated by the Left Democratic Front (LDF) to seek support on the initiatives undertaken by the state government. The women's wall primarily seeks support on issues such as entry of women into the Sabarimala temple. 
 

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.

The Constitutional bench headed by then CJI Dipak Misra had in a landmark verdict in September allowed the entry of women of the menstruating age group in the Lord Ayyappa shrine.
