The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today took a dig at DMK leader Stalin for staging a rail roko protest on the Jallikattu issue and said that his party can "only" stage protests on this matter.
"You can only agitate, we only can find solution which you failed to accomplish while in power," BJP’s Tamil Nadu President Tamilisai Sounderrajan said.
He also added that the ruling party at the Centre alone can find a solution to the vexed issue.
Sounderrajan welcomed Chief Minister O Panneerselvam's announcement that the state would amend the Prevention of Cruelty Act, 1960.
"Hon'ble TN CM assures ordinance on Jallikatttu. Welcome initiative (sic)," she said in a Tweet.
"I appeal to youth volunteers and students agitating for Jallikatttu to call off the agitation on govt's assurances on TN ordinance soon," Sounderrajan said in another tweet.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has "assured all support" to Tamil Nadu government's action for conduct of Jallikattu, she added.
