<h1>Opposition refuses temple event boycott, demands answers on alleged tradition breach, affidavit change, pending protest cases, overdue covenant payments</h1> The opposition alliance declined to boycott a temple anniversary event but demanded the ruling Left government answer allegations that it supported a past 'breach of tradition' and changed an affidavit in the Supreme Court; the opposition also queried why protest cases linked to the 2018 entry controversy remain pending and why covenant payments are overdue. The Devaswom minister said the matter is sub judice due to a pending review petition at the apex court, noted several minor cases have been withdrawn but that withdrawing sessions (non-bailable) cases requires court permission, and characterized the opposition's demands as political.
