Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's message for the people of Tamil Nadu

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. The 6-day peaceful Jallikattu protest is a victory for people of Tamil Nadu. Instead of celebration, it is unfortunate that it has taken a violent turn.

I appeal to the government to take care of women and children who have been a part of the protest and be sensitive to them. Youth should go back and resume their studies.

What has happened today is the deed of anti-social elements who want to keep the temper high for vested motives.

People should move on. They should rejoice and celebrate victory of the most peaceful movement. They should now see how they can play the game safely.
