Vijay says no to Nadigar Sangam, yes to Marina
Earlier, many youngsters criticised Nadigar Sangam's protest as they felt that the stars might divert media focus towards them.
Vijay, who skipped the Nadigar Sangam’s silent protest, was spotted sitting with lakhs of youth, who were protesting to lift the ban on jallikattu at Marina beach on the same day (Friday).

He was seen covering his face with a handkerchief so that his presence would not distract others.
