Rajya Sabha member and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Subramanian Swamy on Sunday made a jibe at Tamil Nadu state government saying that if it is supporting Supreme Court ban on Jallikattu are V K Sasikala, general secretary, AIADMK and Chief Minister Ottakarathevar Panneerselvam not Tamil anymore. Swamy has been opposing the SC stay on Jallikattu during pongal celebrations. He said he also wrote a letter to SC explaining to them the religious and cultural significance of the bull-taming sport.
Today the TN govt has thrashed all porukkis who tried flouting SC stay order on Jallikattu. Are OPS and VKS also not Tamil anymore. Ha ! ha!

He called out at SC by writing a complete argument on why Jallikattu is lawful and said the riff raffs (Porrukis) don’t understand reasoning. A picture was also uploaded on his twitter page with the contents stating how Jallikattu is supposed to be lawful.
Fantastic ! Intellectually, constitutionally strong argument by @Swamy39 that Tamil should be proud of. #jallikattu #savejallikattu – 3 pic.twitter.com/7B2EP5d6i2

Learn to make distinction between my open active support to permit Jallikattu and my supporting crackdown on porukkis for flouting SC order

He also targeted Puthiya Tamizhagam (PT) a local state party which is also supporting SC’s decision. PT was was allotted two seats in the AIADMK alliance in 2011.
PTs know now these howling nuts as Porukkis. On request of many Tamils I argued in SC for Jallikattu. But Porukkis lied that I opposed it!

He also picked on “Porrukkis” who are standing against the SC decision. In Facebook he wrote:Porukis in TN are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and are craving for PTs attention by tweets in Tamil cinema English. What a fall for TN!
Pathetic porukis. Getting arrested everywhere and miserably failed to create lawlessness

Run porukkis, elis, drunks, anti national run before the police catches you and puts you in jail

Villagers hold Jallikattu in Paraipatti (Madurai, TN) despite SC’s ban. Police suspended the event and dispersed the participants.
