Want quota in two months or will choke Delhi: Jat leaders
WARN HARYANA GOVT Threaten to boycott finance minister Abhimanyu, BJP chief Barala
JHAJJAR: Jat leaders on Sunday warned the state government of re-launching their ‘Delhi Kooch’ plan if they do not get reservation in jobs and educational institutes within two months.
At a massive rally in Jhajjar, All India Jat Arakshan Sangharsh S ami ti( AI J ASS) president Y ash pal Malikaskedt he government to finish all legal hurdles to ensure Jat quota and fulfil all their demands that were agreed toby chief minister Man oh ar L al Khattar.
The rally comes two days after the Punjab and Haryana high court up held reservation for J ats and five other communities in Haryana, but stayed its implementation till March 2018, asking the Backward Classes Commission to submit a report on the extent of quota that could be given to the six communities. The Khattar-led government had granted 10% quota to the six communities after Jats ran rio tin Haryana in February 2016.
“The court has asked government to submit its report by March 2018. But our demand is that government submits report quickly and requests the high court for early hearing. This, along with our other demands, should be fulfilled within two months or we will prepare our tractors for Delhi Kooch again. This time, it will be bigger than ever,” Malik warned.
The community’s threat to march towards Parliament with thousands of tractors in March this year had brought the entire National Capital Region to a standstill. The protest call was “postponed” after state government had agreed to fulfil their demands.
However, Malik said many of their demands, including reservation in Centre, were still pending. “Many Jat youths are still lodged in jails. In our meeting withgovernment onMarch19,it had agreed to free them and withdraw cases related to violence during February 2016 agitation. Also, no action has been taken against B JP MP Ra j Ku ma rS ai ni who continues to make derogatory statements against Jats and Jat leaders,” he said.
The Jat leader further asked the government to arrest khap
leader Sub eS ing hS a main, whom he accused of attacking him during Jat meet in Fatehabad on August 14. He demanded to sack a deputy superintendent of police (D SP) and a inspector rank officer
for allegedly protecting Samain, and asked for a CBI probe to find involvement of local BJP legislator and party’ s state unit president Sub hash Bar ala in the entire episode.
