Maharashtra (Pune): Activist Trupti Desai detained by police, earlier this morning. She wrote a letter to SP Ahmednagar yesterday demanding to meet PM Modi to discuss Sabrimala Temple issue ahead of his Shirdi visit today. She had also threatened to stop his convoy if he doesn't meet.

Activist Trupti Desai on being detained by police asserted that Police force was already here today morning when we were about to leave for Shirdi. Shea added that it is wrong and it is our Constitutional right to protest.

“We are being stopped at home only. It is an attempt to suppress our voice through Modi ji”, She alleged.

Here are Visuals from Sannidhanam as protests opposing the entry of women of all age groups in SabarimalaTemple continue. Protesters said "No woman between 10-50 years of age will enter here. We are protecting Sabarimala."

A number of devotees outside the holy place said that the even though everyone is permitted a right to pray, the non-entry of women to the place of pilgrimage is a ritual that must be followed. "Point of Supreme Court is right that men and women are equal. But here some culture is going on that women in age group of 10-50 yrs aren't allowed in the temple. It's our custom. We should follow our customs as India is custom-following country," a devotee outside the shrine was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

The day three deadlock continues as the BJP, as well as other opposition parties, lead protests against the SC judgment. On Thursday, a slew of women journalists were attacked and several protesters resorted to stone pelting. Meanwhile, the BJP has accused CPI(M) of organizing the violence.

Section 144 was also imposed in Pamba, Nilakkal, and Elavungal which disallow the assembly of more than four people in one place.
