Congress leader Rahul Gandhi would visit Tamil Nadu on January 14, the Pongal day, and witness a bull-taming event, 'Jallikattu,' the party's state president K.S. Alagiri said in Chennai on Tuesday.

By witnessing the event at Avaniapuram in Madurai district, the senior Congress leader would lend his moral support to farmers protesting against the new farm laws across the country, he told reporters.

"The bull is a symbol of farmers," he said.

Only Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Palaniswami and his party, the AIADMK, supported the Central government's three farm laws and no other political party favoured it, he said.
