Women will be allowed to enter Haji Ali Dargah, shrine authorities tell Supreme Court
New Delhi, Oct 24 (IBNS) : In a landmark move made under the pressure of female worshippers, women will be allowed to enter Mumbais iconic Haji Ali Dargah in a months time, reports said.
The shrine’s trust told the Supreme Court on Monday that women will no more be barred from entering the shrine and will have full access to it.
“Women will be treated at par with men,” the Haji Ali trust told the top court, about two months after the Bombay high court struck down a ban on women’s entry into shrine’s inner sanctum.
The trust had challenged the verdict in the Supreme court.
Earlier this year, activist Trupti Desai and hundreds of women entered the holy Shani Shani temple in Maharashtra.
A case for lifting a similar decades-old ban at Kerala’s Sabarimala shrine is being heard by the Supreme Court.
