In an open confrontation to the Jats who have threatened to stop supply of water and milk to Delhi demanding reservation, the OBC Brigade today called for strict action against them and said that they would ensure supply of the essentials to the national capital.
"Those who threaten to stop water and milk supply to Delhi in the name of reservation are traitors. Action should be taken against them," OBC Brigade, state president, Rampal Rathi told reporters here.
If Jats resort to agitation, the Brigade will form a team of 5 lakh members by November 27 and, as per requirements, supply water, milk and other essentials to Delhi, he said.
"We will fight for the rights of the OBCs in a democratic manner and not go against the law," Rathi said, dismissing speculations of a possible clash with the Jats who have threatened to block all roads and rails to Delhi and cut off supply lines from September 28.
He further said that lakhs of people from OBC will join its November 28 rally at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi to raise their voice for their rights.
