Jat stir: Agitation reaches Delhi University

Delhi University students from the Jat community on Saturday protested on the North Campus, leading to traffic jams on the Mall Road.

"Injustice is being done to us. This is our protest against the BJP Government," said one of the protestors.

The agitating students sat on the roads demanding reservation for their community, even as police were deployed to control the situation.

With the pro-reservation agitation of Jats getting intensified in Haryana, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju held a meeting at Home Minister Rajnath Singh's residence.

Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party leaders (BJP) Sanjeev Balyan, Om Prakash Dhankar, Anil Jain and Ram Lal also held a meeting at party office. They will meet BJP president Amit Shah after the meeting.

The army has been called to control in the state to quell the ongoing Jat agitation in Haryana which took a violent turn.

At least three protesters were reportedly killed in the clashes.

Around 150 trains have been cancelled. There have been fire incidents at Jhajjar station.

The agitating members of the Jat community are demanding their inclusion in the OBC category and thereby reservation in government jobs.
