Now, `trishul diksha' for women?

Bhilwara March 4. Ignoring the Rajasthan Government's move to ban distribution of tridents, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) today announced it would hold ``trishul diksha'' for women in the State next month.

Sadhvi Ritambhara will hold the initiation ceremony and distribute the icon of Lord Shiva to women here during `Navratra' next month, the State convener of the Durga Vahini Matri Shakti Sangathan, women's wing of the VHP, Niranjana Soni, told reporters here. — PTI
