NTK men stage protest to allow jallikattu, 25 held

Despite being denied permission for staging a demonstration, the workers gathered near the Tahsildar’s office near the district collectorate and raised slogans in support of their demand, police said. The activists wanted the Centre to come out with an ordinance so that Jallikattu could be held and to ban PETA for “hurting the sentiments of Tamils,” by getting a stay on the sport, they said.
