Jallikattu Row: Virender Sehwag urges people to protest peacefully

New Delhi, Jan 18 (IBNS): Reacting on the recent Jallikattu dissent, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has urged people to protest peacefully.

The dashing Delhi batsman took to Twitter to deliver the message.

"Wonderful to see protest in a peaceful way in Tamil Nadu.Request to maintain peace in your passion.Peaceful protest will be a lesson for all," he tweeted.

 

Jallikattu, or taming the bull, is a traditional sport of Tamil Nadu, held during the Pongal celebration or the harvest festival.

The sport has not been held over the past two years after the SC banned it in May 2014 citing cruelty to animals as flagged by many animal activist groups.
