NSS slams CM over 'shirtless temple entry' remark
The New Indian Express Kannur
|January 03, 2025
EVOKING memories of the revolt that he had spearheaded against the Pinarayi Vijayan government over the Sabarimala women entry issue in 2018, NSS general secretary G Sukumaran Nair on Thursday unleashed a scathing attack on the chief minister on another contentious topic — men entering temples with shirts on.
“It (removing shirt while entering temple) is a practice followed by people for ages, and it cannot be altered by a government or a particular community,” Nair said, referring to Pinarayi’s remark supporting Sivagiri Mutt head Swami Satchidananda’s call to change the custom.
“The CM should not have endorsed (Satchidananda’s) suggestion,” he said, while addressing the inaugural session of the Mannam jayanthi celebrations at the NSS headquarters in Perunna.
