The latest to come in support for Jallikattu is none other than actor Ilayathalapathy Vijay. He has registered his statement through a video. Here we provide a translation of what he said:
"A government is created to preserve and safeguard people’s culture and rights, not to take them away. Jallikattu is Tamilian’s identity. I respect every youngster who has come forward to protest for Jallikattu without any political backing, without expecting any personal gains. I would be happy if the arrested people are released and the entire Tamil Nadu will be happy if PETA organisation is sent back home."
