Bahadurgarh: All-India Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS) chief Yashpal Malik today said Jats might get reservation in government jobs and educational institutes before the general election in 2019.
He was addressing members of the Jat community at a mahasammelan here. He said the Rajya Sabha would pass the Bill for setting up the National Commission for Backward Classes in the coming session.
“The commission is likely to submit its report in connection with reservation for Jats in 2018. Jats will be given reservation constitutionally on the basis of the commission’s report,” he said. The AIJASS chief added that the matter pertaining to reservation for Jats in Haryana was sub judice and was being handled in court.
Asked about the row over donations received during the Jat reservation stir, he said some political conspiracy was on to create differences between Jat leaders, but they were united across the state and would fight to get reservation.
He threatened to relaunch the quota stir if the demands were not met. He said the Jat Seva Sangh was being formed for the betterment of the community. Deepak Rathi, convener of the All-India Adarsh Jat Mahasabha, accused Malik of misguiding members of the Jat community in the name of reservation. He said Malik had nothing to do with the interests of Jats and was here only to serve his personal interests.
