The Expert Committee report is based on a single satellite image dated 5 September 2015 which was during the peak monsoon season, to show that wetlands existed on the event site. This is distortion of actual facts to deliberately mislead the tribunal.
No contempt notice has been issued by the NGT to the Art of Living or Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Media reports are baseless and false. The matter has simply been adjourned to 9th May 2017.
I invite all honest environmentalists to study the case and unveil the truth.
I appeal to the people of Tamil Nadu to keep calm and not let anti-social elements hijack the peaceful nature of the Jallikattu movement.
Jallikattu is a game for which both the bull and the people are prepared well. If we want to genuinely show our love for animals, let us focus on banning slaughter houses, which are endangering the indigenous breeds of animals.
