Activist Trupti Desai aborts plan to visit Sabarimala amid protests, vows to return without notice

After a 14-hour stand-off, social activist Trupti Desai on Friday dropped her plan to proceed to Sabrimala as she was prevented from leaving the Cochin airport by devotees and others protesting entry of menstrual age women into the famed Lord Ayyappa shrine.
Desai, who arrived at the airport in the early hours with young six women colleagues, said she would return as police informed her that there would be law and order problem if she visited the shrine. However, she vowed to come back to the state soon to have darshan of Lord Ayyappa.
