Conscious of the fact that the agitation by the Jats demanding quota
in jobs has been politicised by the parties that are ruling Uttar
Pradesh and Haryana, the Supreme Court has directed the Rajasthan
government to ensure that the supply of water and other essential
commodities to the capital is not affected.
The Indian Oil Corporation and the Delhi Jal Board have filed urgent
petitions seeking directions to the Centre and the governments of UP
and Haryana which are governed by BSP chief Mayawati and Congress's
Bhupinder Singh Hooda respectively to ensure that normal life is not
affected by the agitators.
It said Mayawati and Hooda have supported the Jat agitation.
Taking exception to the "support" extended by Mayawati and Hooda to
Jat stir, a bench of justices Altamas Kabir and Dalveer Bhandari on
Thursday observed, "We are constrained to pass the order having regard
to the statements made by the highest functionaries of Haryana and
Uttar Pradesh indicating support to the agitation''.
Agitating Jats have threatened to cut off supply of essentials to
Delhi if their demands for reservation in central jobs are not met.
"We make it clear that while citizens have right to protest, we also
make it clear that resorting to such steps should not lead to
disruption of supply of essential commodities in the interests of
citizen," an anguished bench added.
Judges also directed Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan governments
to ensure that transportation of oil and petroleum products from
Mathura and Panipat oil refineries to Delhi is not affected in any
manner'.
In Chandigarh, the Punjab and Haryana high court directed the Haryana
government to immediately get the rail tracks and other blockades
cleared to restore normal movement of trains.
