On Friday, the VHP had also condemned the action of the Kerala Police over the devotees.

Sanatan Dharm Pratinidhi Sabha and Delhi Sant Mahamandal alleged that the Kerala Police lathi-charged the devotees.

“However, despite the brute force of administration, Kerala government could not force the Hindu devotees to submit. This is a victory of faith and devotion,” they said.

The organisations also thanked the devotees saying “they were trying to save the tradition of Sabarimala.”

“The role of the CPI-M has always remained under question on the issue of saving the rights of women,” said the two outfits attacking the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M).

They pointed out that the Hindu community has never been anti-women.

“But there has been a tradition of temples and one has to respect that. And due to these different traditions, India has unity in diversity,” they said.
