SC's verdict on Sabarimala

Supreme Court on Wednesday directed Kerala government to formulate a new law exclusively for Sabarimala temple. This comes days after SC expanded scope of Sabarimala matter and referred it to a larger bench. State government has made it clear that re is a "defacto" stay and cant allow women until re is some legal clarity on recent Sabarimala verdict. Minister for Devasom board has already informed that y will t allow any women activist to enter Sabarimala as it is t a place to prove someone's activism. Supreme Court had lifted a traditional ban on entry of women of menstrual (10-50 years) on September 28 last year. Despite apex court's ruling, a string of protests took place at Sabarimala temple and its surrounding areas in state, when several women attempted to visit shrine but were stopped by Lord Ayyappa devotees.
