Shylaja Vijayan, President National Ayyappa Devotees Association moves the Supreme Court seeking a review of the Apex court's judgment in the Sabarimala case.

Protests over the entry of women in Sabarimala have gained momentum after teh LDF government made it clear that it would not go in for a review of the Supreme Court verdict.

Meanwhile, the representatives of the Pandalam Palace and Sabarimala temple priests refused to attend the meeting called by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday to discuss the Supreme Court's verdict allowing women's entry in the Lord Ayyappa temple. The Palace trust will also file a review petition in the matter.

Devotees of Lord Ayyappa continued their protest in Chennai, demanding the retaining of the age-old tradition of the hill shrine. The devotees organised a rally from Kodambakkam High Road to Mahalingapuram Sree Ayyappa Temple demanding the government to file a review petition against the apex court's verdict.
