Congress Prince Rahul Gandhi had visited Madurai as we speak and had attended Pongal celebrations and a Jallikattu occasion. It was a large self-goal in itself because it was the Congress which had tried and tried, utilizing each doable methodology to ban the Jallikattu festivities when it was in energy. It was solely after the Tamil Nadu authorities handed an ordinance with the specific assist of the Modi authorities that the game received again its authorized standing in Tamil Nadu.
Rahul Gandhi’s ‘visits’ are all the time stereotypical like a Bollywood film. As he was having the ‘Tamil’ expertise tour, Congress’ state unit had carried out every little thing doable to provide Rahul Gandhi a ‘Tamil’ expertise. He was first seen consuming rice along with his fingers, on banana leaf, sitting with a row of Tamil ladies who fortunately paid no consideration to the Italian saheb attempting to eat rice like Jhalmurhi.

Firangi lord lastly stated ‘ok’ to Jallikattu
After the Jallikattu viewing half was over, Rahul Gandhi addressed the media. As anticipated, the firangi lord gave his verdict concerning the brown individuals taking part in the brown individuals sport. Turns out, firangi saheb appreciated it, and he was even benevolent sufficient to say that he thinks it’s okay if brown individuals play this sport, as a result of he has come to grasp that it isn’t as “barbaric” and “brutal” and all the opposite dangerous issues that Congress leaders had known as it. Firangi lord was additionally feeling form, so he ‘allowed’ Tamils to have fun their competition as they’ve been doing for hundreds of years. How very form and compassionate of him.
Rahul Gandhi addressing the media about JallikattuBut that was not all. Firangi lord is so form and good that his kindness is aware of no bounds. Rahul Gandhi not solely stated it’s alright to play Jallikattu, he even admitted that he was wrongly informed that bulls are harmed. He acknowledged that bulls usually are not harmed in Jallikattu.
Wait a minute. So Congress carried out its lengthy marketing campaign in opposition to Jallikattu with out understanding or bothering to know that?
Rahul Gandhi has simply admitted that the Congress authorities’s relentless marketing campaign and efforts to get Jallikattu banned was only a glitch, a minor error that has been omitted and rectified by a Gandhi household scion’s form verdict. Years of politics, assaults, bad-mouthing, slanders and shaming marketing campaign in opposition to a Hindu custom is simply presupposed to be forgotten now as a result of Rahul baba has determined to vary his thoughts and assist it.
Here is what the Congress has carried out to get Jallikattu banned:
In 2011, the Ministry of Environment and Forest underneath the Congress-led UPA authorities had banned the usage of bulls within the festivities. However, underneath the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Jallikattu Act No 27 of 2009 the competition continued. In 2014, the Supreme Court of India then struck down the state’s legislation and banned Jallikattu. Since then, the individuals of Tamil Nadu have been combating for his or her conventional occasion. Between 2014 and 2017, Jallikattu was held nevertheless it was deemed in opposition to the orders of the apex court docket.
Notably, in 2017, the Tamil Nadu authorities handed a invoice with the assist of the Prime Minister of India that exempted Jallikattu from Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (1960). First authorized Jallikattu celebration was held on February 1, 2017, in Madurai district. Manmohan Singh, Shashi Tharoor and Jairam Ramesh are the Congress leaders who had repeatedly known as Jallikattu ‘brutal’ and ‘barbaric’. Ramesh had later even criticised the BJP’s efforts to let the festivities proceed. He had known as it a ‘barbaric practice’ and had stated the BJP was supporting some native leaders to appease them forward of the elections.
But no points, we’re presupposed to overlook all that as a result of firangi lord has simply okayed it.
‘Suppressing Tamil spirit’ is the brand new ‘RTI and women empowerment’
Not simply leisure and a sudden bout of kindness, watching Jallikattu in Madurai as we speak has additionally impressed Rahul baba to find some new vocabulary. The new magic phrases are ‘suppressing the Tamil spirit’. In his media assertion, Rahul Gandhi used the phrases ‘suppress’ and ‘Tamil spirit’ like 5 occasions in 1.5 minutes. For a few of us, it was the disagreeable reminder for the (in)well-known interview with Arnab Goswami earlier than the 2014 elections, the place for nearly each query, Rahul baba’s reply was ‘RTI and women empowerment’.
But, thank God for small mercies. At least he has not tried to talk Tamil.
