THIRUVANANTHAPURAM/KANNUR: BJP chief Amit Shah on Saturday pledged his birthday celebration's "rock-solid" give a boost to to devotees protesting towards the Supreme Court order that the Sabarimala temple permit entry of ladies of all ages, claiming the Left Front government within the state used to be trying to damage Kerala's traditions.
"I want to tell governments and courts, 'give orders that can be implemented'. They should not give orders that work to break the faith of people," Shah said in Kannur on Saturday.
Throwing his weight behind protests towards the courtroom order and the state government's arrest of over 2,000 agitators, Shah said, "BJP is ready to go to any extent to protest for the rights of Ayyappa devotees. Beliefs should be respected. Man-woman equality is must, but gender equality cannot be established by giving entry to men and women together. There are several temples that deny men entry," he said.
The BJP chief used to be speaking at Sivagiri Mutt in Varkala whilst inaugurating the 90th anniversary of Mahasamadhi of Sree Narayana Guru.
Hours earlier, Shah had landed in Kannur on a chartered flight (a Falcon 2000), changing into the primary passenger to land on the airport even earlier than its formal inauguration on December 9.
"Kerala now experiences an Emergency-like situation," Shah said, going on to accuse CM Pinarayi Vijayan of taking part in with fireplace in trying to "suppress protests" of Sabarimala devotees. "Using the court order as cover, the state is trying to turn Kerala into a battlefield," he said and that the state didn't display the same enthusiasm in fighting floods.
"I hear people speak of article 14, but under the articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution, I also have the right to live by my religion. How can one fundamental right override another fundamental right," he requested. He said Hindu traditions honour women as during Dussehra and Navratri daughters are worshipped. "Women sit next to us for pujas...we have respected women but there are temples with different traditions," he said.
Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan shrugged off the BJP chief's accusations of an "Emergency-like situation in Kerala" as "ramblings" towards his "democratically-elected government", saying it simplest "revealed the true colours of RSS and Sangh Parivar".
Shah said BJP and the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam, which has substantial clout within the politically vital Ezhava neighborhood, would collectively combat attempts to assault Hindu custom and beliefs within the name of enforcing the SC order that put aside the shrine's custom barring women folk within the age 10 to 50 years at the ground that the deity is an everlasting bachelor and does no longer welcome women of menstruating age.
Though he shared the dais with the BJP national president, SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan urged transparent of the temple factor. He had earlier hit headlines for his contradictory views at the agitation. On Saturday, Natesan stressed out the desire for team spirit between SNDP Yogam and Sivagiri Mutt.
SNDP Yogam and Sivagiri Mutt should continue to work together for a greater the next day, Shah said. He introduced the Centre's choice to sanction Rs 20 crore for the Varkala Sivagiri railway station to lend a hand beef up amenities for Sivagiri pilgrims.
Junior minister of tourism K J Alphons sanctioned works price Rs 70 crore to the mutt, against together with Sivagiri within the national pilgrim tourism circuit.
