UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday, 2 January, foiled her party workers’ plans to protest in Parliament against the entry of two women in Kerala’s Sabarimala temple.
Kerala Congress had called for a ‘Black Day’ after news of the women gaining entry to the temple broke on Wednesday. In a bid to express solidarity with state party leaders, Congress MPs were seen distributing black arm bands in the Lok Sabha, but their plan was blocked by Gandhi.
According to sources quoted by The Indian Express, when Gandhi spotted the MPs distributing black bands, she told them not to proceed and said that the Congress stands for “gender equality and women’s rights.”
