BJP leader favours women's entry in Sabarimala
General Secretary of BJP's Kerala unit K Surendran has supported the entry of all women in the Sabarimala shrine. He said the presiding deity, Lord Ayyappa, is not a "misogynist" and menstruation cycle is a "law of the nature" and should be viewed as sacred. Lord Ayyappa gave young Goddess Malikappuram a seat just next to him, Surendran added.
