Secret Service yells “Donald Duck!” instead of “Get Down!”


Jallikattu Hijacked!

Anti-national, anti-social and extremist elements had infiltrated the protests held by students, youth and public for the conduct of jallikattu. These persons diverted the peaceful movement, did not allow the protesters to disperse, attacked policemen and endangered public life and property by indulging in violence," the chief minister said.

However, despite provocations like being pelted with stones and attacked by mobs, the police maintained restraint, used "minimum force" and never resorted to firing or lathicharge, the chief minister said. @pgurus
