The row over ban on the Tamil sport 'Jallikattu' has snowballed into a state-wide agitation with protesters thronging Chennai's Marina Beach in support of the age-old tradition. The mounting anger on the streets has prompted the top brass of the state government to chalk out a strategy to persuade people to maintain calm. Chief minister O Panneerselvam too has reached Delhi to meet President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to demand an ordinance for the sport.
