Amid protests in some parts
of Tamil Nadu against a ban on traditional bull-taming sport, Union Minister
Maneka Gandhi has said that jallikattu is a Western concept that leads to
killings of humans and animals.
“Jallikattu
tradition is western culture and BJP is against it. The Supreme Court’s
decision to ban it is a welcome step,” said Ms. Maneka.
She said
that in this tradition cows and bulls, which are very useful for the farmers,
are killed.
“Not only
the animals, but humans are also killed in this tradition,” she said.
Tension
prevailed in Palamedu and Alanganallur, two of the famous venues for the
traditional sport, with shops remaining closed and buildings sporting black
flags, as residents were upset jallikattu could not be held this year.
Ms. Maneka
said that Makar
Sankranti should be
celebrated by worshipping plants and trees, but in Tamil Nadu it starts with
atrocities, which is wrong.
