Thiruvananthapuram, March 7 -- The Sivagiri Mutt has submitted a formal memorandum, concerning the marginalisation of backward communities in Kerala to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, Sivagiri Mutt President Swami Sachidananda said on Saturday.

Sachidananda claimed that these communities are increasingly being pushed out of the mainstream.
