Ban On Bulls

In case Hamilton's banned or his penalty is retrospectively increased, it could tilt the stakes of the world championship.

If this isn't resolved by the FIA appeal, there could be legal action as well from Red Bull.

Congress's Rahul Gandhi celebrated Pongal in poll-bound Tamil Nadu today with a call to Tamil sentiments. "I have come here to give a message to those who think that they can run roughshod over Tamil people, can push aside Tamil language and Tamil culture," he said at an event of Jallikattu, the state's traditional bull taming sport.

"Earlier, life was at risk for vigilantes... not those who were in the (cattle) trade," CN Ashwath Narayan, Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka told NDTV, in response to concerns that the state's new anti-cow slaughter bill will protect and embolden 'Gau Rakshaks'.

The Delhi High Court has stayed the Central government's notification, as the bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar questioned the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to examine this matter and directed that there would be no challans till April 18.

The landmark judgement declaring right to privacy a fundamental right would have "some bearing" in matters relating to slaughter of cows, bulls and bullocks in Maharashtra, the Supreme Court said on Friday.

Thirty-six people were injured, one of them seriously, in a Jallikattu event held at Avanipuram in the district amid high security on Sunday in which more than 900 bulls were used, police said.

Jallikattu protests blocked several roads on Monday in Chennai, including its IT corridor, as protesters forced out of the Marina Beach clashed with the police in various parts of the city. After peaceful protests since Tuesday in support of the bull-taming festival, clashes erupted for the first time today as policemen physically removed thousands...

Two people were trampled to death and dozens wounded in southern India during the controversial bull-taming sport that resumed Sunday after tens of thousands of demonstrators mounted unprecedented pressure this week on the government to overturn a ban.

Opposition parties the DMK and the Congress boycotted the Governor's address in the Tamil Nadu assembly this morning over the police action on protesters at Chennai's Marina beach who are demanding that the ban on Jallikattu, the bull taming sport, be permanently lifted.

Chennai's Marina beach was flooded with protesters demanding a 'permanent solution' for Jallikattu on Sunday. The traditional bull-taming sport which is a part of Pongal celebrations, failed to take off in Madurai on Sunday, a day after the state government passed an ordinance or executive order for its resumption. Chief Minister O Pannerselvam, wh...

Jallikattu made a re-appearance in Tamil Nadu on Sunday, claiming the lives of two men in Pudukottai. The men, who were injured while holding on to a bucking bull, died on the way to the hospital. The traditional bull-taming festival was held in some parts of Tamil Nadu, even though locals in Madurai's Alanganallur, where Chief Minister O Panneerse...

The Supreme Court has agreed that for the next seven days, it will not rule on whether to lift a ban on Jallikattu, as requested by the union government. With more than 10,000 protestors holding unflagging but peaceful demonstrations at Chennai's Marina Beach in support of the bull-taming sport, judges were told that a verdict, due today, could cre...

As PETA faced pro-jallikattu protesters' ire for opposing the bull taming sport, Tamil film star Dhanush today said he was not part of the animal rights advocacy group and described as an "insult" an award given to him by the NGO a few years ago.

Spirits dampened a little when Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said he could not bring an ordinance to remove the ban on Jallikattu, the ancient bull taming festival, but the mood is still electrifying at Chennai's iconic Marina Beach, which has for three days now hosted a massive protest. Tamil Nadu's civil society has come together on the worl...
