NSS, SNDP hopeful of Kerala govt. ‘upholding Sabarimala custom’
The Nair Service Society (NSS) and the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam, two prominent Hindu community organizations in Kerala, expressed cautious optimism about the Kerala government's move to recalibrate its stance on women of menstruating age entering Sabarimala. G. Sukumaran Nair, NSS general secretary, stated that the government's position appears to have shifted from supporting the 2018 Supreme Court decision allowing all ages into the temple. Vellappally Natesan, SNDP Yogam general secretary, expressed hope for respect of public sentiment regarding Sabarimala custom while the CPI(M) and Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan called on the government to withdraw its Supreme Court affidavit supporting women's entry into the temple.
