Continuing her struggle for gender equality, activist Trupti Desai entered the Haji Ali Dargah in Mumbai on Thursday to offer prayers amid tight security. However, she did not enter the inner sanctum where women are not allowed. She offered prayers where both men and women are allowed entry.
"At the Dargah, I prayed that women be allowed to enter the inner sanctum, as was the case till 2011," Bhumata Ranragini Brigade chief Desai said, after coming out of the Dargah.
"Police cooperated with us this time. This is a fight for gender equality. We will try to visit the inner sanctum next time," she said.
After campaign for entry of women in Shani Shingnapur and Trimbakeshwar temples in Maharashtra, Desai had taken her movement for gender equality to the famous Dargah in Mumbai. She was stopped short of going into the shrine on April 28 by protesters.
