Jallikattu Politics
Has PM Modi over-played his cards in resolving the
Jallikattu issue ? In fact, is that issue resolved through the TN ordinance
route ? The centre had told the TN government that the matter was sub judice
and so they could not issue the ordinance.However, they assisted the TN
government through the route suggested by the Attorney General and helped them
notify an ordinance on their own. It will be a symbolic gesture which can and
will be challenged by the original
petitioners.
It has been established that the present ugly format
of Jallikattu is the product of competitiveness and greed which have dsdtorted
the original form and purpose of the sport.
There is visible cruelty to the bulls
and is this being condoned or will the
ordinance provide protective
measures for the poor animals ?
It is my strong view that the Central government has
opened the highway of challenges to Supreme Court judgements by a show of force
and a kind of blackmail. The present collusion by the Central government in
circumventing the Supreme Court could be interpreted, rightly or wrongly, as an
attempt by BJP to gain a toehold in Tamilnad currently facing a volatile
poltical scene. Could this not dent the PM’s effort to cleanse Indian politics
and his own image as a potential crusader ?
