Panipat: The All-India Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS) will hold a ‘Bhaichara rally’ in Jhajjar on August 27, said Yashpal Malik, national president of the samiti. He appealed to people belonging to 36 communities to participate in the rally in a large number.

Malik was addressing a rally held under the shed of the grain market at the Israna block in the district today.

The state authorities had agreed upon six demands of the samiti at a meeting on March 19. Some of the six demands had been fulfilled and work on others was pending, he added.

BJP MP Rajkumar Saini had tried to disturb communal harmony in the state by making derogatory remarks against the Jat community, he alleged. “It was a conspiracy of BJP leaders to malign the image of Jats that has been exposed due to unity in the community, said Malik.

“We will hold a state-level ‘Bhaichara rally’ in Jhajjar on August 27 to remind the state leadership of its commitments,” he said. Besides, another rally would be organised in Hisar on September 13 to observe Sunil Shyoran’s Martyrs Day, he added.

The Jat agitation had been postponed not concluded. Dharnas were still continuing at three places, he said. If our demands are not met, Jats would regroup again and enter Delhi, Malik warned. The state-level executive committee of the samiti had decided to hold rallies in 75 blocks of the state, he added.

Office-bearers of the samiti Ashok Balhara, national general secretary; Nisha Chaudhary, general Secretary, Delhi; Pratap Dahiya and Suresh Machroli attended the rally today.
