Minister won't comment on Jayamala's claim

Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala Devaswom Minister G. Sudhakaran has declined to comment on the controversy regarding the Kannada actor-producer Jayamala's claim that she had entered the sanctum sanctorum of the Sabarimala temple and touched the Ayyappa idol sometime back.

Replying to questions on the Sabarimala master plan in the Assembly on Thursday, Mr. Sudhakaran declined to comment on the controversy. When the Congress member Babu Prasad raised the issue, the Minister said the actor had nothing to do with the master plan and hence could not comment on it. When the Janadhipathya Samarakshana Samithy member If the devaswom board had any complaints, the Government would look into it. He said the Government would not meddle with the customs in Sabarimala.
