Sabarimala Row: Rituals Part Of Right To Religion?
A clash between the BJP and the Left has erupted in Kerala, as the state orders police action against thousands who blocked the entry of women of all ages into the Sabarimala temple. BJP President Amit Shah says he backs the protesters 100 per cent and will stand with them for protecting the traditions of the temple. At the same time, Arun Jaitley says the debate in India is similar to a global debate between constitutionalists versus devotees. Tonight, on Left, Right and Centre we ask, does our belief in the law of the land mean the rights of devotees to maintain Sabarimala's traditions is getting extinguished?
