Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala activist Rehana Fathima has been asked to take compulsory retirement from BSNL after she was embroiled in Sabarimala row.
Stating that her attempt to enter the shrine of celibate God in 2018 had spoiled the reputation of the company among customers, the BSNL, in its order asked her to take compulsory retirement, further claiming that her acts were “subversive of discipline and amount to misconduct”.
She was suspended from service following her arrest in November 2018 over Facebook posts.
Fathima, who is a technician with the state-run communications company, said she will explore legal remedies against the order sent by her employer.
The Fathima hit headlines when she attempted to enter the Sabarimala shrine, which has traditionally been closed to women in the age group of 10-50 years.
She did after the Supreme Court order allowing entry of women in the age group of 10-50.
