The Prime Minister reminded voters that the NDA government cleared an ordinance brought by AIADMK which allowed Jallikattu to continue.

He slammed the UPA for calling it a ‘barabaric practice’, saying it was not right to speak about an age-old tradition that is so important to Tamil culture in this manner.
