Arvind Swami's take on the Jallikattu issue

Jan 24, 2017 JB

Jallikattu issue has attracted the attention of not just the protesters but also many celebrities who are sharing their knowledge through their social media space. One such actor was Arvind Swami who took to his Twitter page to say the following:

He tweeted, "What is this'permanent solution'that is being demanded? I am unable to understand...can someone pl explain for my understanding?#jallikattu. Pl understand that there is nothing like a 'permanent law'.Even an ordinance or amendment can be challenged in a court of law. Seeing statements of people on TV who seem to have a different understanding of how the legal system works in this country. # misleading. Expect Any amendment to be challenged. Therefore, conduct the event in a safe way so that you can use it as an example in court in defence.

If the event is not conducted in a safe way for the people and the bulls, we cannot expect a positive legal outcome in the future. The only way to keep the sport permanent is to provide for the safe conduct of the event. Hope we can focus on that. Be open to evolve it. If we don't focus on keeping the event safe for the people and the animal, pl remember that everything will be challenged. Speaking the truth"
