Tamil Nadu :Thousands of Jallikattu supporters stage protests for the second day at Marina beach
The state Government on Wednesday held talks with agitators and assured them of holding the sport.
The Government told the agitators that if required, the matter would be taken up with the President seeking an ordinance allowing the game to take place.
The Supreme Court in May 2014 banned Jallikattu, traditionally held as part of the four-day Pongal festival in Tamil Nadu.
However, politicians of different parties pleaded with the Centre to amend the concerned law so that Jallikattu can be conducted while stars like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Simbu extended their support in favour of the sport.
