The Kerala High Court on Monday observed that Sabarimala is for all while hearing a plea by BJP ‘Intellectual Cell’ state convener TG Mohandas, who sought a ban on the entry of non-Hindus from entering Sabarimala shrine.
In his petition filed on 25 October , Mohandas sought a court declaration which would state that permitting the entry of non-Hindu women and non-idol worshippers into Sannidhanam violated Rule 3 of the Kerala Places of Places of Public Worship (Authorization of Entry) Act, 1965, given that the Supreme Court’s ruling only allowed the entry of Hindu women into the shrine.
He also demanded an independent investigation into the alleged attempt by police to permit “non-idol-worshippers” and non-Hindu women to enter the shrine.
