Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government said
on Wednesday that it would bring a legislation
to enable any believer in Hinduism to offer
worship in temples.
Devaswom Minister G Sudhakaran told a seminar
on 'Progressive Movement and the Second Guruvayur
Satyagraha', organised by DYFI that the present
rule stated that any person who by birth is
a Hindu can enter temples.
A necessary amendment would be brought forward
to enable a believer in Hinduism enter temples,
Sudhakaran said.
"Thanthris (chief priests of temples) have
no right to determine who is a believer,"
Sudhakaran added.
