DMK has held state-wide protests demanding Jallikattu be held this year.
The DMK hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Jallikattu issue, saying that he had time to meet actors but not the AIADMK MPs who had sought a meeting with him to discuss about holding the banned bulltaming sport in Tamil Nadu during Pongal.
"Whom does Modi meet. Those known to him, including those from the cinema world, and immediately gives appointment to them. He has met actors including Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth and Gautami. I am not criticising them, for they have their own pride. But, for Modi who allots time for these actors, can't he give time to AIADMK MPs to discuss an issue of heritage importance of Tamils," DMK leader MK Stalin said.
Mr Stalin, who is DMK working president, urged the Centre to immediately promulgate an ordinance to hold the sport.
Mr Stalin's DMK has held state-wide protests demanding Jallikattu be held this year.
The DMK chief also hit out at the ruling AIADMK over the issue.
"It is not too late, still a day is left for Pongal. Centre can promulgate an ordinance for the conduct of jallikattu... I humbly and rightfully ask on behalf of Tamils, bring and ordinance, else the people will not forgive Centre and state government," he said.
Mr Stalin claimed that Chief Minister O Panneerslevam should have also pressed the matter with the Centre.
The DMK leader said that the Centre has passed 22 ordinances in the past, including one for Land Acquisition Act.
Since the first government post independence, Centre has so far promulgated over 600 ordinances on various issues, he added.
Mr Stalin urged that the Centre should "dismiss" Animal Welfare Board of India for its strident stand against Jallikattu and said it should be replaced by a committee including a member from Tamil Nadu.
Such a task would not be difficult for the Modi government since it had even done away with the erstwhile Planning Commission, he said in an apparent reference to the formation NITI Aayog.
