''I DON'T FEEL HAPPY TO WISH YOU ALL FOR THIS PONGAL''

Pongal is being celebrated in Tamil Nadu today (14th Jan), and many Tamilians are disappointed about the fact that Jallikattu has been banned. One celebrity who has expressed his disappointment on this issue is Raghava Lawrence.

Lawrence has taken to his Facebook page to say, ‘’Hi friends and fans, I don't feel happy to wish you all for this Pongal as one of our rightful practice has been banned. Jallikattu is our cultural sport, and it represents our historical tradition. I am proud to see how Tamilians from all sections have united to fight against this ban. If we are united as one, I feel our cultural rights cannot be taken away from us ever. We have kept our traditions alive for thousands and thousands of years, and I believe it will continue to remain so still mankind exists. I pray to God that this ban is removed so that we can celebrate our cultural festival with joy!’’.

The Kanchana actor is not the only celebrity from Tamil Nadu who has been let down by this decision taken by the government. Many such people have been affected and are striving to support the age old tradition.
