Bengaluru: As many as 18 MPs from Karnataka, including Shobha Karandlaje, Nalin Kumar Kateel, P C Mohan, and Rajiv Chandrasekhar staged a protest in front of the Parliament. They were protesting against the Kerala government for “joining hands” with “anti-Hindu forces” and destroying the 800-year-old tradition at the Sabarimala temple.

The MPs, who assembled near the Parliament, held a small procession and later staged a protest. They shouted slogans against the Kerala government for playing with the emotions of the devotees of Lord Ayyappa.
