Ayyappa Devotees Stage Protest in Virajpet

Virajpet, Sep. 2: A massive protest was held in Virajpet against Communist Party leader Sunny Kafikad, who made a derogatory speech against Sabarimala Ayyappa Swamy and Maligapurathamma Devi. Ayyappa devotees of Sri Malethirake Ayyappa Temple here and members of various Hindu organizations jointly gathered near the city clock tower and expressed their anger.

The protesters alleged that Sunny Kafikad had insulted the deity at a program at a government primary school in Tirur taluk of Malappuram district of Kerala state.

Suresh, who led the protest, said that the Sabarimala Ayyappa shrine is a sacred and emotional center for crores of Hindus. Crores of devotees visit here throughout the year. The person made such a low-level speech with the intention of hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus. They demanded that strict legal action be taken against him immediately under the anti-religious act.

Another leader, T.V. Anil Kumar, said that this is not the first time that such a propaganda is being done against the Lord Ayyappa of Sabarimala. It is condemnable to speak so derogatorily about God and Goddess in front of small children in a public school. He said that the police should file a suo motu complaint against him and punish him.

Hundreds of Ayyappa devotees and the public, including prominent figures Bhaskar, Snake Satish, Ganesh, Sumesh, Janu, Chandru, Sajeevan, Mohan, Unni, participated in the protest.
