The Supreme Court recently directed the governments to impose a ban on the tamil cultural event Jallikattu. With the orders of Apex court people of Tamil Nadu are showing their unity in protest of getting their traditional practice 'Jattikattu' back.
So many celebs from Kollywood has extended their support to protest. Now Telugu hero's Mahesh and Pawan has joined in the league.Prince Mahesh Babu expressed his solidarity on Tamilians fight for Jallikattu through his tweets.
In a series of tweets, Mahesh wrote, "#Jallikattu is the spirit of Tamil Nadu - bold and fearless. Proud to see such a statement of unity among Tamilians for something that they truly believe in. Especially admire the way the students of Tamil Nadu have been standing up for the cause, relentlessly fighting for their roots and culture. Hope their voices are heard. I support the spirit of Tamil Nadu. #JusticeforJallikattu."
Other side Pawan Kalyan also expressed his opinion on Jallikattu. Posting a pictures from his farm house Pawan wrote, 'Looking at the cows and roosters in my farm made me to think about the Ban of Jallikattu and Kodipandem in Dakshin Bharath.
Ban on Jallikattu and Kodipandem by Government of India is an attack on Dravida Culture and its integrity. This is how it is being viewed in Dakshin Hindustan. I had observed this deep hurt in people of Dakshin Bharat while I was shooting in Pollachi (Tamilnadu) and during my political interactions in Andhra about the bane of their respective cultureal events in recent times.
Government of India cited Animal Cruelty as the reason for the ban of Jallikattu and Kodipandem. If we truly consider this puritanical approach then we have to examine the statistics of Indian Beed export and Indian poultry industry.
India is the larget exporter of Beef in the world, 2.4 Million tonnes of Beef and Veal exported by India in 2015 where as Brazil and Australia could export only 1 and 1.5 million tonnes. And beef exports fetches almost $5 Billion with 14 percent growth rate every year. And interestingly theese top beef exporting firms are owned by Hindus and not muslims.'
With none other than Pawan and Mahesh supporting Jallikattu, one has to wait and see whether T-town extends its support to the neighbouring people.
