AIADMK MPs leave President's House after meeting President Pranab Mukherjee over Jallikattu ordinance issue. Speaking to the media, M Thambidurai said:

We strongly believe by today evening the ordinance on Jallikattu will come into effect. Issue of Jallikattu was in the concurrent list and therefore late Amma stressed the need to solve it but Centre omitted our request.
