INLD leader Abhay Chautala alleged that some supporters of the ruling BJP clashed with Jat agitators who were protesting in a peaceful manner in Rohtak three days back.
Chandigarh:
Haryana's main opposition party Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) today blamed the Manohar Lal Khattar-led BJP government for the worsening situation in the state and demanded imposition of President's Rule.
"We request the President to dismiss the government. President's Rule should be imposed in the state immediately," Leader of Opposition in Haryana Assembly Abhay Chautala said in a statement in Chandigarh.
The INLD leader alleged that some supporters of the ruling BJP clashed with Jat agitators who were protesting in a peaceful manner in Rohtak three days back.
Some lawyers had been attacked by traders in Rohtak after which the situation flared up. Another attack had taken place in Bhiwani, where alleged BJP supporters had set on fire a Jat dharamsala and also indulged in vandalism, Mr Chautala claimed.
"Now, the situation has come to a point where the government has lost control of the situation," he said, adding BJP leaders had made hollow and false promises to the Jat community before and after coming to power in Haryana.
Mr Chautala, a prominent Jat leader himself, alleged that BJP lawmaker Raj Kumar Saini had been making anti-Jat quota statements for past several months, but the party had failed to rein him in.
