The Congress-led UDF alleged that the law and order had collapsed in Kerala following the violence during a shutdown called by saffron outfits on Thursday to protest against the entry of two women of menstruating age into the Sabarimala temple.
Terming it a "state-sponsored action", the party said the "immature" and "arrogant" approach displayed by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in handling the issue was the reason for the tension,
Behanan said steps were also taken to create a favourable ground for the BJP and RSS to grow in Kerala. "We condemn the violence unleashed by BJP and Sangh Parivar over the Sabarimala issue."
