Congress leader Rahul Gandhi celebrated Pongal in poll-bound Tamil Nadu today with a call to Tamil sentiments. He attended an event of Jallikattu, the state's traditional bull-taming sport and said, "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 also hit out at the government over farm laws saying the government is trying to destroy farmers.
