The protestors shouted slogans against the communist Kerala Government for deliberately allowing the two women to enter Sabarimala Temple.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Nagendra opined that Kerala Government was unnecessarily politicising the issue and hurting the sentiments of Hindus.  He said that the religious beliefs of people regarding entry to temples should be honoured and protected.
