Kochi: Amid reports that activist Trupti Desai will fight for womens right to pray at Keralas Sabarimala temple, state PWD Minister G Sudhakaran Friday said she would not be allowed to create a law and order problem on a matter currently under consideration of the Supreme Court.

Sudhakaran, a former Devaswom Minister, noted that the CPI(M)-led LDF government has supported her cause and even filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court declaring that its doors should be thrown open to women of all ages.

"A legal battle is on in the Supreme Court to change the existing law. Considering the views expressed by Desai on womens entry at Sabarimala, an affidavit has been filed before the Supreme Court.

"But we would not let her create a law and order situation on the issue," he told reporters here in response to a question about Desais reported move to enter the ancient hill shrine situated in a dense forest.

After her successful battle seeking womens entry in the sanctum sanctorum of Haji Ali Dargah in Maharashtra, Desai has announced that she would now fight for womens right to pray at Keralas Sabarimala temple.

Desai has reportedly said that she, along with 100 women campaigners, will go to the Sabarimala temple to offer prayers.

Those who are opposing the womens entry at Sabarimala argue that since the presiding deity, Lord Ayyappa, was a celibate or Naisthik Brahmachari, and even the slightest deviation caused by the presence of young women on the temple premises was undesirable.
