After Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, M Karunanidhi's Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Tuesday urged the Centre to promulgate ordinance to conduct Jallikattu.

'I urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi to promulgate an Ordinance forthwith to enable the conduct of Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu immediately,'  M. Karunanidhi said in a statement.

'Central government has failed to take appropriate actions. It should've brought ordinance instead of notification,' he added.

The Supreme Court earlier this afternoon stayed a central government notification that paved the way for a return of the banned bull taming sport, thereby effectively scuttling plans of staging the event during the Pongal celebrations in Tamil Nadu later this week.
