Haryana: Jat protest continues despite of agreement between Khap leaders and govt

 Mar 12,  2012: In Haryana, the jat protesters continue to sit on rail tracks and roads affecting the traffic adversely. The protesters sitting on Dharna at Mayyer and other places along with the family of the deceased youth Sandeep have refused to leave the rail tracks, saying they would continue with Jat reservation stir.  The Jat Khap leaders who held talks with the government tried to convince the protestors but did not succeed. As a result the mortal remains of the deceased youth, killed in police action could not be consigned to flames on Sunday.  The Jat leaders will again hold a meeting with the protesters tomorrow morning and try to convince them.  The 101 jat protesters released by Haryana government from Hisar jail earlier are also camping at Mayyer. They had been arrested during the jat reservation stir and released as per the agreement reached at Hisar between 16 member committee of Jat khap leaders and representatives of government on Saturday.  Earlier the Chief Minister, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, called the cabinet meeting at chandigarh and apprised it of the talks held with the representatives of the Jat agitators at Hisar. The cabinet took stock of the situation and approved the action taken by the government so far.
