Bhogi turned out to be yet another day of protests against jallikattu ban, many of which were thwarted by police. "Unfortunately the ordinance can be issued only after the Supreme Court verdict. I am still firm in my resolve to revive jallikattu," said Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan While jallikattu should happen on Sunday, the day of Mattupongal, and proponents of jallikattu were hopeful of the ordinance coming through on Saturday, lawyers said it was unlikely . "The SC has said it cannot be pushed into delivering the verdict. Bringing an ordinance at this stage will clearly amount to overreach by the executive," said Anjali Sharma , member of the AWBI and convenor of its legal panel.
