Thiruvananthapuram | Kerala Chief Electoral Officer warned the political parties against using the Sabarimala issue or judgement for their own propaganda.
“Citing/invoking or doing some sort of religious propaganda based on Sabarimala issue/judgement will be a clear violation of the model code of conduct and we will be taking action” T R Meena
Following the September 28, 2018 verdict of Supreme Court which allowed women to enter and pray in the famous Lord Ayyappa temple of Sabarimala, the decision has been in controversy ever since.
Various political parties have opposed the decision and carried our protests to change the decision.
