ALAPPUZHA : Shiv Sena State president M.S. Bhuvanachandran has said that the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) should not implement the rituals recommended by astrologer Unnikrishnan Panicker who conducted `Devaprasnam' at Sabarimala.

At a press conference here on Friday, Mr. Bhuvanachandran said Mr. Panicker had conducted the `Devaprasnam' violating all the conventional guidelines. Further, Mr. Panicker had not handed over the `Preshnacharthu' (details of the recommended atonement rituals) to the Tantri.

He demanded a judicial inquiry to find out the truth behind Jayamala episode. Mr. Bhuvanachandran said the Shiv Sena would soon conduct a `Devaprasnam' on Sabarimala in Thiruvananthapuram to find out the real situation there.

Sena spokesperson Pallikkal Sunil and Ayyappa Seva Sanghom leader Parama Sivan Nair also participated at the press conference.
