Having been defamed for pronouncing 'self-styled illogical' verdicts
in matters of love marriages, the Haryana Khap Panchayat has now taken
initiative to check social evils of honour killing and female
foeticide.
In a recent development, the Jhajjar Khap 360 has resolved to bring a
proposal in a vital meeting of khap panchayats scheduled to be held on
October 3 at Farukhnagar in Gurgaon district to prevent honour
killing. The meeting is being convened to perform a havan besides
contemplating over various serious issues related to khap panchayat.
In a joint Press release issued here on Saturday, Jile Singh Dhankar,
president of Jhajjar 360 Khap, Virender Singh Kadian, secretary and Om
Prakash Dhankar, co-ordinator of Sarva Khap Panchayat said Hawa Singh
Sangwan would present the proposal on behalf of the Jhajjar 360 Khap
at the meeting after going through the legal aspect of the proposal.
Besides, a 101-member committee of khap representatives would also be
constituted at the meeting to submit a memorandum in this regard to
Chief Ministers of various States, Union Ministers and other prominent
political leaders. Responsibility of forming the committee has been
assigned jointly to Dada Baljeet Singh, president of Gatwala Khap and
Advocate Ram Karan Hooda, executive president of Hooda Khap.
The khap leaders also warned of launching a nation-wide campaign if
the Government did not take interest in making amendments in Hindu
Marriage Act. The meeting would be attended by representatives of
various khaps active in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan and Haryana.
