Making a scathing attack on the Thantri (chief priest) for his threat to shut the Sabarimala temple if young women attempted to enter the temple violating the age-old traditions, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the priest who is doing puja at the temple should practice celibacy as the deity is celibate.
Vijayan said, “Ayyappan is believed to be a ‘naishtika brahmachari’ (eternal celibate). There are beliefs that some deities are celibate. At such temples, the priest must also be celibate. He must not marry. You all know the ‘celibate’ status of the Sabarimala priest.”
The Chief Minister’s moronic remarks aimed at insulting the Thantri have triggered an avalanche of memes and cartoons, making him a laughing stock.

One troll message read: Why call him Vijayan when he is a Parajayan (loser), as all his initiatives including Sabarimala are utter failure.
