Even as the Sabarimala pilgrimage season is ending on Saturday, the BJP and other Sangh Parivar outfits will continue to organise a host of demonstrations to maintain the tempo of the protests against the entry of women in the 10-50 age group at the Ayyappa temple.

On Sunday, an Ayyappa Bhakata Samgamam (assembly of Ayyappa devotees) will be organised in Thiruvanathapuram in which about 2 lakh devotees are expected to participate.

Spiritual leader Matha Amrithanandamayi will be the chief guest at the event being organised by the Sabarimala Karma Samathi chaired by Hindu Aikya Vedi state president K P Sasikala.

The relay hunger strike being staged by the BJP in front of the Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram since December 3 will continue till Saturday.

BJP sources said that the party state committee would soon meet to chalk out further demonstrations on the Sabarimala issue.
