M M Hassan, a senior Congress leader and former state unit chief of the party, said he did not find any "fault" with the government's decision and that deploying younger women at the temple complex would have "provoked" devotees.
"I cannot find any fault with the government's move deploying women aged over 50 at 'Sannidhanam' (temple complex). Deploying younger women would have provoked devotees," Hassan said.
