Chandigarh, Nov 2 (IANS) Haryana's Jat leaders Tuesday said that they
will gather in the capital Nov 25 to give the central government the
ultimatum on their demand for other backward class (OBC) status and
job quota for the community.
Members of the Jat community are seeking reservation in government
jobs and educational institutions, as given to OBC sections.
"Both the central and state governments are delaying the issue of our
demands and they are not at all serious about them. They are only
buying time by making false promises. We have decided to converge in
New Delhi on Nov 25 to give final ultimatum to the central
government," said Yash Pal Malik, president of the All India Jat
Aarakshan Sangarsh Samiti, while addressing reporters here Tuesday.
"Thereafter, we would intensify our campaign and there is a
possibility that we would also show a small trailer to the government
on Nov 25," he added.
Earlier, Jat community members had threatened to seal the Delhi
borders Oct 3, before the start of the Commonwealth Games. They later
changed their decision.
"We had got a request from the Congress government not to interrupt
the Games. They had promised us that immediately after the Games, they
would take up our issue, but it did not happen," said Malik.
"Some members of a political party had also attacked and threatened
me. But we are not going to step back and would continue fighting till
all our demands are met," he said.
Earlier Sep 13 and 14, Hisar district of Haryana saw a widespread
violence by Jat community members on this issue. A mob went on the
rampage, targeting government and private property.
One youth was killed in police firing, and several people were injured
in clashes. Following the violence, Hisar superintendent of police
Subhash Yadav was booked and transferred from his post.
