Bengaluru South MP and BJP Yuva Morcha President Tejasvi Surya on Sunday asked parties to unite to save ‘Sanatana Dharma’, saying there are attempts being made by “some forces with an agenda” to stop traditional games such as ‘Jallikattu’ and ‘Kambala’.
“We have seen that today some forces with various agendas are going to the courts and doing many things to stop our traditional games such as ‘Jallikattu’ and ‘Kambala’,” Surya said while speaking on the second and last day of Kambala.
Kambala, the slush track buffalo race of coastal Karnataka and Kasaragod in neighbouring Kerala, is happening in Bengaluru for the first time.
He said parties should rise above their political differences and unite to protect ‘Jallikattu’, ‘Kambala’ and the celebration of our festivals “because our ‘Sanatana Dharma’ can be saved only if we save these games.”
According to the organisers, 178 participants and their buffaloes are taking part in the event.
