Thalassery : Trupti Desai’s arrival seems more like a Centre-hatched conspiracy to destroy ethnic harmony in the state, said Devaswom Board Minister Kadakampally Surendran. The peaceful pilgrimage season of Mandala-Makaravilaku, shall not be disrupted at any cost, , the minister added.
“A group of women setting out from BJP-stronghold in Maharashtra; reaching Nedumbasserry airport in wee hours of Tuesday morning; a lone Kerala-based channel with prior information reaching the spot to broadcast Trupti Desai’s statement; her announcement of taking off to Sabarimala en route Kottayam and landing at Kochi Commissioner’s office with seemingly pre-arranged protesters waiting outside and subsequently launch attacks - the series point to a pre-written script,” said Kadakampally Surendran.
The arrival of protest group at Commissioner’s office coincided with coming of Trupt’s group there and a protester attacks one of the women with chilli powder. These episodes indicated conscious efforts to destroy the smooth conduct of the pilgrimage at the shrine, the minister added. Wont allow this kind disruptive plot, the minister asserted.
