Tamil Nadu to go ahead with Jallikattu event: TN CM meets PM
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam calling on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in New Delhi

New Delhi/Chennai, Jan 19 (UNI) The Tamil Nadu Government today indicated that it would go ahead with the holding of the banned Jallikattu sport with the backing of the Centre. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O. Paneerselvam, who called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and raised the emotive issue of holding the sporting event banned by the Supreme Court, later told reporters that the Centre expressed its inability to promulgate an immediate ordinance to lift the ban on bull taming sport that has roused Tamil passion. However, asserting that 'all is well that ends well', the Chief Minister said his government will soon take steps 'with the backing of the Centre for the holding of the sport. You will soon see...Wait, good will happen.” Mr Paneerselvam, who had rushed to the national capital, was speaking after emerging from the meeting with the PM where he urged the Centre to issue an ordinance to enable the sport to be conducted on popular demand. Meanwhile, a bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar refused to hear the plea seeking its intervention in the public protest at Marina beach in Chennai, to revoke the ban on Jallikattu. The apex court asked petitioner lawyer Raja Raman to file the appropriate plea in the Madras High Court for relief. The petitioner had pleaded that the court take suo motu cognisance of the case as it did in the Ramlila maidan case. MORE UNI SD GV SHK 1628
