The Kerala government on Monday informed the Supreme Court that it favours the entry of women of all age groups in Sabarimala temple.
Women aged between 10 and 50 years of age are traditionally not allowed into the Sabarimala temple.
The LDF government had in July justified the stand taken by the previous Congress-led UDF regime, supporting the restrictions.
Details awaited.
Varanasi, Jan 20: An FIR has been lodged against unidentified persons for a controversial hoarding near the Varanasi railway station. It is worth mentioning here that Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself is the MP of Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency.
The hoarding near the Englishiya Line crossing read, "Hindu dharma mein ghar vapasi karo... CAA, NRC se chhutkara pao (Get rid of CAA, NRC by converting to Hinduism)".
Inspector Ashutosh Ojha said that the FIR under section 295 A and 505 of IPC has been lodged.
"Investigation has been launched in the case and those involved in putting up the hoarding would be identified soon," he added.
According to sources, a lesser known outfit, Hindu Samaj Party, had placed the hoarding on the busy road.
The outfit's state Vice President Roshan Pandey had made a video viral on social media with his message in which he claimed to have put up the hoarding in response to the protest being staged at Shaheen Bagh, New Delhi.
The hoarding, which also has photographs of some Muslim women wearing saffron pagdi, was removed by the police late Saturday evening.
It came up at a time when Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Union Minister Smriti Irani and other leaders were in Varanasi to address a rally in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act at the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University.
Pandey, along with his supporters, had also tried to stage a sit-in at Lanka to give a call for marching to Shaheen Bagh in Delhi but was prevented by the police.
They were taken in custody and were later released following initial interrogation, said inspector Lanka, Bharat Bhushan.
Mangaluru, Jan 29: The police have registered a suo motu case against some of the youths who raised life threat slogans against former Karnataka Minister and Congress MLA UT Khader during the pro-Citizenship Amendment Act rally here on January 27.
A video of the incident that went viral on social media showed the youths belonging to BJP and other saffron outfits raising slogans that they will “cut off his limbs and chop off his head if necessary” during the rally organised by the BJP in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act on Monday.
Though Mr Khader did not file a complaint, the Congress party had urged the police to register a suo motu case.
