Over 1,000 activists of the BJP, majority of them being women, took out a procession here Tuesday protesting against the handling of the situation in Sabarimala by the government of Kerala and demanded that the agama (scriptures) traditions be followed in the shrine of Ayappa.
The national executive member of the party and member of the Rajya Sabha L Ganeshan, who led the procession, said the agama traditions should be upheld.
Some of the women, holding placards, said they would wait to cross 50 years of age to enter the shrine.
They all rendered hymns and bhajans in praise of Ayappa and raised slogans against the state government.
The procession ended at Gandhipuram where the BJP leader and others told the participants in the rally that the sanctity of Sabarimala should be preserved.
