PERUNNA: The NSS has again criticised the Left government for their stand in Sabarimala women’s entry issue. “The Left government has used SC order on Sabarimala women’s entry to destroy the beliefs of people. Thus what reflected this time in the Lok Sabha election was the sentiments of the people from all religions who loved Lord Ayyappa,” NSS general secretary K Sukumaran Nair said on Sunday.
He was presenting Rs 122.5 crore budget for the period 2019-20 at the NSS headquarters in Perunna. “We told the government to ask for more time to implement the SC order and requested it to file a review petition. All our earnest pleadings fell on deaf ears,” Nair recalled.
Sukumaran Nair said political parties’ attempt to portray election result as the unification of minority votes is done with dubious intensions. The BJP cheated the devotees. Though they were in power in the Centre, they didn’t help the believers. Instead, they used the issue as an election tool
It was only UDF that conducted peaceful demonstrations and took legal steps in favour of beliefs. The fruit of this was the big win they achieved in the Lok Sabha election.
Only in Alappuzha they lost and that was because of the in-fighting in Congress. Now, the only resort in the Sabarimala case is the Supreme Court. The NSS will go to any extent to protect the belief and tradition,” he said.
