Sabarimala: BJP shifts focus, plans hunger strike outside secretariat

Even as the situation cools in Sabrimala the BJP, which had earlier announced an action plan for a protest at the temple till December 15, has changed tack. On Monday, party general secretary A N Radhakrishnan will begin an indefinite hunger strike in front of the state secretariat demanding that fabricated cases against party leaders be withdrawn and for better facilities for pilgrims at Sabarimala.
Sabarimala premises had witnessed tense days on several occasions in the last month after devotees, Hindu organisations and the BJP protested against young women’s entry to the temple following a recent verdict of the Supreme Court.
