Jind: Akhil Bharatiya Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (ABJASS), the body that spearheaded the Jat quota stir in February, today threatened to resume the agitation if its demands are not met by the end of this month.
"If Jats are not accorded reservation, the next agitation would be bigger than the previous one. The Jat community is not in the mood to wait more," ABJASS president Yashpal Malik said.
He said a meeting of representatives of the Jat community from 13 states will be held in Delhi on April 3 where an announcement will be made regarding the mode of agitation.
In February, 30 people had lost their lives during the nine-day violent agitation by Jats demanding 10 per cent quota in government jobs and educational institutions.
Several districts including Rohtak, the epicentre of Jat agitation, Jhajjar, Kaithal, Jind, Sonipat and Bhiwani had witnessed violence.
Jats are also demanding withdrawal of FIRs registered against the protesters, compensation to those killed during the stir and action against BJP lawmaker from Kurukshetra Raj Kumar Saini for his anti-Jat reservation stand.
"If Jats are not accorded reservation, the next agitation would be bigger than the previous one. The Jat community is not in the mood to wait more," ABJASS president Yashpal Malik said.
