Jats threaten to disrupt supply of essential commodities during CWG
PTI, Sep 23, 2010, 04.47pm IST
CHANDIGARH: Even as the Haryana government claims to have brokered
peace with protesters in the state seeking inclusion in OBC list,
members of the Jat community today threatened to disrupt the supply of
essential commodities, including milk, to the national capital during
the Commonwealth Games.
"Our protest at various places will continue till Jats are included in
the list of OBC," Akhil Bharatiya Jat Aarakshan Sangarsh Samiti
president Yashpal Malik told reporters here.
Malik claimed that Jats will stage demonstrations in the form of
blocking rail and road traffic to the national capital during the
games period to press for their demand.
"Our men will stage demonstrations at over 100 places and if the
government would use force against us then it will be responsible for
any consequences," he said.
Recently, Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had claimed
that Jats had withdrawn their agitation as their demand had been
forwarded to the Centre.
However, Malik said that "we will stop supply of milk, curd to the
national capital during the games period."
He said that Jats had purchased several tickets for the games so that
as spectators they can register their protest by showing black flags
outside and inside the venues.
He accused the centre of not accepting their demand of including them
in the list of OBC.
He, however, said that "if satisfied with talks by any representative
of the centre, the Jats will call off their agitation."
He said that Jats will show black flags as protest against the Queen's
Baton relay, though he asserted that their protests would be peaceful.
On the issue of violence during protest as happened recently in Hisar,
Malik said that it was some anti-social elements who were trying to
take mileage from our protest.
