Kadakampally Surendran, a minister for temple affairs in Kerala, has said that "The state government will not provide protection to any women entering the temple. Social activists like Trupti Desai should not consider Sabarimala temple as a medium to show their power. If they want police protection, they have to bring an order from the top court."
