Jats threaten to launch agitation from June

Accusing Haryana Government of not fulfilling its demand of giving reservation to Jats under OBC category, members of the community today warned to intensify their protests June onwards even as they made a strong pitch for bringing a Central legislation to cover them under quota.
Akhil Bhartiya Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (ABJASS), which held day-long sit-in here, warned its members will occupy bungalows/residences of Parliamentarians "if the MPs ignored their demands" and said the indefinite protests will be expanded to 12 other states as well from June 5.
The Samiti representatives also met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh earlier in the day over alleged injustice being meted out to its members by the Haryana Government and claimed the latter has assured them to look into the matters raised.

"We will launch agitation on June 5 if our demands are not met ... We will be in Delhi again and none will be able to enter or leave its borders.
"Why none will be able to leave or enter Delhi? Because the moment we will start lining up tractors and trolleys towards Delhi, it will take 15 days for all the tractors and trolleys to be moved to Delhi.
"We will occupy residences of Ministers and Parliamentarians if they do not pay heed to our demands," ABJASS president Yashpal Malik said while addressing a community rally at Jantar Mantar.

He further insisted Centre to pass BJP Parliamentarian PP Chaudhary's private member bill introduced in Lok Sabha for amending National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) Act, 1993.

The bill, moved in December 2015, proposes to do away with statutory requirement of consulting the Commission for declaring a community as backward if it has already been announced so (backward) by a government.
Secondly, Malik demanded, the Haryana Government must issue gazette notification for Jat reservation and insisted those "falsely" implicated during quota agitation earlier be released immediately.
"Besides, the state government must give compensation to family members of those, who lost lives in earlier stirs. If any of our members is picked up now, we will launch agitation straight away," he added.

Meanwhile, Malik also announced formation of a 121-member committee of Samiti members to deal with the Manohar Lal Khattar Government on the reservation issue.
Malik claimed the Jats have support of all the political parties, but urged community members to not become a "tool" of any of the outfits.
