With nearly 3,000 people protesting at Chennai's Marina beach since Tuesday night and big protests being held in other parts of Tamil Nadu, chief minister O Panneerselvam has said that he will do everything necessary to ensure the banned bull taming sport Jallikattu takes place. He will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow to ask for a special order to allow Jallikattu. Students, techies, actors and politicians, who have converged in Tamil Nadu, say the traditional bull-taming sport of Jallikattu is a symbol of Tamil pride and culture. Meanwhile, the Madras High Court said today that it will not "interfere" with the protests.
