Mangalore : TDP president M Rajagopalan Nair and Devaswom Board stated that ’Makara Jythoti’ (celestial light) was man made and this act is condemned by Sri Ram Sene said Kumar Malemar, district president of Sri Ram Sene.
Addressing the protestors in front of DC Office on Feb 7, Monday, he said that 50 crore devotees follow the Shabarimala Practice for 48 days and walk for 48 miles and climb the 18 sacred steps.
But this statement by Nair, has disappointed the Shabarimala devotees.  He also said that, atheists were trying to destroy people’s faith in Sabarimala.
The Devaswom Board is in the hands of Communist Party and talking rubbish, hence the Kerala Government must take action against the board. The Sene will hold protest if the Nair is not suspended from the post.
The members burnt the portrait of Nair on the occasion. Later the members of Sene submitted memorandum to the DC.
Madhusudhan, Kishor Mahakalipadpu, Nagesh Ullal, Hindu Yu va Sena president Veerappa, Nagesh Bajilakery, Madhukar Mudrady, Ganesh Attavar and other members were present.
