To begin my speech on this Motion, I would like to wholeheartedly thank honourable President, honourable Prime Minister Modiji and his team of senior ministers, who had extended a supporting hand to the Tamil Nadu government in promulgating an ordinance with regard to jallikattu.
Jallikattu is a 2,000-year-old traditional sporting event, conducted in rural areas of Tamil Nadu, as part of Pongal celebrations. Due to various reasons, there was a ban on jallikattu, which is against the fundamental, religious and cultural rights of the people of Tamil Nadu. This had deeply hurt the sentiments of several crores of Tamilians
