QUESTION ?
What were DMK, AIADMK and Congress doing when In 2011 Jairam Ramesh made sure that jalilkattu was banned?
The fact is that BJP and BJP alone has stood b the people of Tamil Nadu and defended their right to celebrate Jallikattu. The matter is sub-judice and
we should wait for the final judicial verdict.
