Kochi (Kerala) [India], Jan 3 : The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) workers held protest march in Kochi on Thursday against the entry of two women in Sabarimala temple on Wednesday.
“We will carry on with our agitation in a peaceful manner and abide by the law of the land,” BJP Kerala president PS Sreedharan Pillai told ANI.
A protest march was also held in Pandalam by Sabarimala Karma Samiti and BJP workers.
