Thiruvananthapuram : Reports claiming that, party decision on Sabarimala is wholly based on court order, is rather media presumption, said CPI(M). The party endorses gender equality in all spheres and just that, it added.
Governments at all times have toed in line with rules, law and court rulings. The Left govt abided by the Kerala High Court 1991 judgment until the 2018 Supreme Court verdict overturned it.
Govt then became constitutionally compelled to implement the reversal, pronounced by the court.
However in the latest development, there is general consensus that the present SC ruling lacks clarity on important aspects.
Hence the govt shall be obliged to carry out the court’s directive, after the top court sheds greater light on key aspects in the pending case.
The Chief Minister in his response to the issue, has indicated this before. It however transpires that, the govt stance has disappointed those trying to eke out political gains, CPI(M) said in its press release.
