Kochi : Bhoomatha Brigade founder and President Trupti Desai continues to wait inside the Cochin airport along with five other women amid protests.
The protesters belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party and RSS are waiting outside and chanting ayyappa mantra at all possible exits to make sure than she doesn't go out through any other exit. Airport online taxi operators also refused to give her a ride stating security reasons.
However, Trupti Desai still remains in her resolve to mount the holy hills and pray to Ayyappa.
We reached Cochin Airport at 4:30 am. Protests were being held outside. We booked Taxi 2-3 times but drivers have been threatened that their vehicle will be vandalised if they offer us a drive. Police have said that we can't go outside now: Trupti Desai pic.twitter.com/ksHAAPzejb

Police tried to evacuate us from another gate but protesters were there as well. Protests being held here. Does this mean protesters are scared that we'll reach #Sabarimala once we reach Nilakkal, or, are they trying to scare us? We won't return until we have 'darshan': T Desai pic.twitter.com/AeevWB5gZu
