Sabarimala order based on assumption that men are superior: Govt

The Centre on Thursday backed restriction on entry of women of menstruating age into Kerala's Sabarimala temple, saying Supreme Court's 2018 judgement proceeds on assumption that men are superior and women are on lower pedestal. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said he has filed a written submission and gave instances where men are not allowed in temples.
