When Vijay joined Jallikattu protesters at Marina
Chennai
Jan 21
Tamil superstar Vijay paid a secret visit to the Marina beach
here to extend support to thousands of young protesters against the ban on Jallikattu,
a source said.
On Friday night, Vijay joined thousands of supporters who have
been protesting against the ban on the popular and ancient bull-taming sport.
"He didn't participate in the fast organised by the Nadigar
Sangam as he wanted the limelight to stay on the youngsters. Hence, he decided
to join them on ground on Friday night. He covered his face with a handkerchief
and silently joined protesters at Marina beach," a source close to the
actor told IANS.
On Friday, the central government gave its nod to an ordinance
enabling the holding of Jallikattu as proposed by the Tamil Nadu government.
Earlier, in a video message, Vijay said: "Law was not
created to rob people off their tradition and rights, but to protect it. Jallikattu
is every Tamilian's identity. Those who are protesting against the ban on Jallikattu
are united by the feeling that they are Tamilians, but not out of compulsion
or political pressure. I bow down to each and every one of them."
On the career front, he is gearing up for the shoot of his
next yet-untitled Tamil outing with director Atlee.
