The Centre on Friday cleared the ordinance on Jallikattu even as protests over the issue escalated further today. The ordinance has been sent to President Pranab Mukherjee for approval. After consulting Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, Law Ministry forwarded the ordinance to the President. The matter is also pending before the Supreme Court as it had agreed to the Union government’s request not to pass a judgment on the raging issue for a week. The decision was taken in order to prevent further unrest in the state. Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi pleaded the apex court to “hold back” judgment on Jallikattu since final order in any case might inflame more passion.
