Haryana Finance Minister Captain Abhimanyu on Sunday said that the government's purpose is to provide reservation, which is definite and stands the test of law and the Constitution of India.

"Our purpose is to provide reservation which is definite and stands the test of law and the Constitution of India. Rajnath ji has made commitment to people that the Haryana Government will come up with a bill in the upcoming assembly session. I appeal to the protestors to end their protest as soon as possible," Captain Abhimanyu told ANI.

"In the meeting the protestors kept their demands in front of Rajnath Singh. The Home Minister appealed to them to end the protest immediately and maintain peace and brotherhood in Haryana. A committee has been formed under Venkaiah Naidu to look into the demands of the Jats," he added.

The Central Government has set up a committee headed by Union Minister M.Venkaiah Naidu to look into demand of the Jats for reservation in Central Government jobs.

Singh also appealed to the people of Haryana to help in maintaining peace and order in the state.
