PM slams Kerala govt over Sabarimala

January 15, 2019 18:58

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the left government in Kerala on the Sabarimala issue, saying Communists do not respect India's culture and spirituality.

Hitting out at the Communist Party of India-Marxist-led Left Democratic Front and the opposition spearheaded by the United Democratic Front in the state, he said both the fronts were two sides of the same coin and accused them of neglecting people of the state.

"We know that the Communists do not respect India's culture, history and spirituality," Modi said at a public meeting in Kollam.

Modi said the Congress party has multiple stands on the Sabarimala issue.

"They say one thing in Parliament and another in Pathanamthitta (where the Lord Ayyappa shrine is located)," the PM said. -- PTI
