Animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals on Friday urged fans of megastar Rajinikanth to avoid sacrificing goats at the Alagarkoil temple here to celebrate the actor\u2019s entry into politics.<\/p>\n
Rajinikanth\u2019s fans will reportedly do a puja at the temple on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe power you already hold can help make a positive difference to the lives of all living beings and we are therefore writing to respectfully request that you use it now to stop the planned slaughter of goats in your name,\u201d PETA\u2019s Lead Public Policy Nikunj Sharma said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan of your fans to kill goats in a temple is cruel and an apparent violation of Indian laws. Goats who are killed are usually transported and handled roughly and hacked at with dull knives in full view of their terrified companions,\u201d Sharma added.<\/p>\n
On December 31, 2017, Rajinikanth had announced his plans to float a political party.<\/p>\n
The actor during his speech said that he is looking for guardians of rights. \u201cWe will start a party when the elections come. We\u2019ll tell what we are about to do to the people and also tell that we will resign if we haven\u2019t accomplished our promises within three years. I can do this only with the trust and support of the people. I don\u2019t want party cadres. I want guardians who can fight for people\u2019s rights. And I\u2019m just a people\u2019s representative, who will oversee this army of guardians,\u201d the 67-year-old said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
