Salman, a Deputy Crown Prince reportedly said, “I just want to remind the world that American women had to wait long to get their right to vote. So we need time”.

“We look at citizens in general and women are half of this society and we want it to be a productive half,” Salman further said.

Salman an aggressive leader has overseen a more assertive foreign policy in last three years. During his tenure as a Defense Minister of oil rich nation, the country has ventured into Yemen and pushed hard United States to take more aggressive moves to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.

Saudi Arabia, a Sunni Muslim-ruled kingdom, the world's biggest oil exporter and the biggest customer of American made weapons, sees Shiite-led Iran as its main rival.

Jan 28: Hindu temple processions with an elephant adorned in ornaments carrying the idol, with percussionists and devotees walking side by side, are no new sight in Kerala. However, a similar procession in Kerala's cultural capital, Thrissur, turned heads. Hundreds of Muslims were seen holding hands and clearing traffic to help the procession move smoothly.

Muslims made way for the passage of a Hindu temple procession during their protest against Citizenship Amendment Act(ACT) in Thrissur on Saturday, January 25.

Various Muslim organisations had organised a mass protest in the Swaraj ground in the town. On the same day, the local Bhaktapriyam temple's procession was also taking place. Stuck in a dilemma, the temple authorities approached the police and the Muslim organisations to find a solution. The Muslim organisations then promised to help proceed the temple procession without any obstacles.

Nearly a thousand people who had turned up for the protest volunteered to clear traffic and control the crowd so that the temple procession could smoothly pass through the town.

A video of the procession was shared on Facebook by the Thrissur City Police on Saturday, which showed Muslims holding hands on either side of the procession to make way.

"Humanity is bigger than religion. That's the lesson the residents of Thrissur are giving to the country. Thrissur is truly the cultural capital of Kerala," read the caption of the post in Malayalam. The video soon went viral and was viewed by over 36k views.
