A number of Tamil celebrities including world chess champion Vishwanathan Anand， Oscar-winning music composer A R Rahman and superstar Rajinikanth supported protests and sought resumption of Jallikattu as symbol of Tamil culture and pride.


Paneerselvam said his government would soon replace the ordinance by introducing a new law in the state's lawmaking body.


Jallikattu was banned since 2014 after animal rights activists seeking prevention of cruelty to animals appealed to India's top court that bulls in the sport were "severely harmed."


Last year India's federal government amended its order and issued a notification saying bulls may continue to be exhibited or trained as a performing animal， at events such as Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu subject to conditions and proper supervision. The government order evoked strong condemnation from animal rights bodies.


However， the Supreme Court of India upheld the ban in 2016 and suspended the federal government notification of allowing Jallikattu after various bodies including Animal Welfare Board of India filed petitions to challenge it.


Following the ban no major Jallikattu events were organized.


The sport was traditionally practised as part of the harvest festival of Pongal. Jallikattu involves men chasing bull attempting to grab its hump and ride it for as long as possible or stop it and remove piece of cloth affixed to its horns.


Over the years， many people have been gored or trampled to death during the sport. Even bulls suffer injures and sometimes get killed in such contests.
