Thiruvananthapuram: Devaswom minister Kadakampally Surendran on Thursday virtually expressed regret for the incidents that had rocked the Lord Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala in 2018 over the women entry issue and said it “should never have happened”, as the Congress and BJP sought an apology from the left government. Kerala is gearing up for Assembly Elections on April 6.
He also vowed that the final verdict of the Supreme Court would be implemented only after consultations with believers, political parties and the general public.
“The incidents that took place in Sabarimala in 2018 was something which had pained all of us. It should never have happened. It has pained everyone…it has pained me also,” Surendran told television channels.
