Staff Correspondent

TUMKUR: K.P. Nataraj, president of "Nelasiri'', a literary organisation of Saptagiri Extension here, has criticised the Janata Dal (Secular) and Bharatiya Janata Party Government for being silent over the decision of the Kerala Government to probe into the Jayamala-Sabarimalai episode.

Mr. Nataraj and Natarajappa, member of the organisation, told presspersons here on Tuesday that the Karnataka and Kerala Governments had done a big injustice to women in allowing the police to inquire into a sensitive issue.

They said the action of the Kerala Government and the silence of the Karnataka Government over it amounted to practicing gender injustice against women.
