Pinning the responsibility of resolving the Jallikattu issue on the Central Government, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Saturday said that it is due to the government's delayed action that the state is experiencing mass agitation.
"It is because of the Central government's action that Jallikattu has stopped. It is for the Central government to help the people of Tamil Nadu.
Whatever they have done is a delayed action which has led to a mass agitation in the state. It is for them to see it is undone," DMK MP TKS Elangovan told ANI.
Continuing their protest in support of Jallikattu, Elangovan asserted that the agitation would continue until favourable result is announced.
"We are waiting for the result. If the result is in favour of Jallikattu, then why would we agitate?" he said.
The Centre, yesterday, passed the ordinance on Jallikattu, sent to it by the Tamil Nadu Government.
