Jat body rejects proposed panel, to intensify stir

The Jat organisation spearheading the stir in Haryana for quota in government jobs and educational institutions for them, today decided against talking to the government for setting up a panel to resolve their grievances.

The All-India Jat Aarakshan Sangarsh Samiti (AIJASS) decided against participating in formation of the proposed four-member panel saying the panel is to have no powers to redress their grievances.

The Jat body took the decision following a meeting chaired by its president Yashpal Malik at Jassia village in Rohtak on Friday.

"The four-member committee is to have no powers to take any decision. Under such circumstances the Jats reject the formation of the committee and will not go for any dialogue with the government," he said vowing to intensify the stir.
