MADURAI: Former AIADMK minister RB Udhayakumar has alleged that the DMK is making jallikattu like it is a family festival.
Flagging off an awareness campaign on the occasion of AIADMK founder MGR’s birth anniversary, he said, “There was confusion and violation at Avaniyapuram, Palamedu and Alanganallur. The DMK government organised ‘semmozhi maanadu’ like its family function. Similarly, it is trying to make jallikattu also a family function.”
Chief Minister MK Stalin had announced that every collector in the district would visit their village, stay there and redress grievances. “ Why hasn’t Stalin implemented this scheme so far,”Udhayakumar asked.
