The Congress-led UDF Opposition Wednesday lambasted the ruling CPI(M) over restrictions imposed by police at Sabrimala, even as Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said it was to ensure a smooth pilgrimage for “real” devotees.
Armed with placards and banners, the Opposition members tried to interrupt the proceedings of the House as soon as it met and demanded the withdrawal of the prohibitory orders invoked in and around Sabarimala ‘Sannidhanam’, the temple complex.
