He urged Modi to instruct "...the officials of ministry of environment and forests to take immediate action to denotify bulls from the list of performing animals so that Jallikattu could be conducted from 16.1.2015 as per the usual practice."

Referring to the recent discussions a team of state government officials had with the officials of the central government, Panneerselvam said: "We were hopeful that the government of India would issue this notification forthwith."
