Suspected Maoists on Friday pasted posters in tribal hamlet Attappady, supporting the entry of women of all age groups into the hill shrine at Sabarimala, police said.

At least five to six posters, urging to "defeat" the "fascist" forces, appeared in the mountain road area, they said.

"Oppose the fascist forces standing against the entry of women in Sabarimala...fight patriarchy," a poster said.

The posters were undersigned 'CPI-Maoist' and no other details were available as of now, a senior police officer said.

Attappady is one of the largest tribal hamlets in the state.
