fulfil the cultural aspirations of Tamil people and that the government was
fully committed to the progress of Tamil Nadu.
The central government on Friday gave its nod to the Tamil
Nadu government's ordinance to enable holding of jallikattu, as the state
witnessed massive protests in support of the sport.
The Centre's move came as Tamil Nadu was brought to a
standstill due to massive protests by students and other sections demanding
immediate staging of the traditional sport in Alanganallur, epicentre of
jallikattu, and other places.
The protesters have said they would not withdraw the
agitation until the event is held.
