Haryana Khap Leaders

Khap members and farmers blocked the Rohtak-Delhi National Highway in Jhajjar district for about two hours as part of a 'Haryana Bandh' call given in support of protesting wrestlers, farmers and over other issues.

An argument broke out between the members of a "khap panchayat" who were meeting in Haryana to deliberate on the next steps to be taken over the ongoing protest by top Indian wrestlers.

Amid efforts by some Haryana ''khaps'' for rapprochement in the Chautala family, Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala on Thursday said his party will contest on all 90 seats in the upcoming assembly elections.

A village less than three hours from Delhi does not let its girls and young women wear jeans or use mobile phones. The local leaders of Isaipur Khedi village in Haryana's Sonipat think girls could "misuse" mobile phones.

Among the endless stream of visitors at Olympic winner Sakshi Malik's bungalow in the city's Sector 4, there was one gent who perhaps personified the Haryana stereotype - out of place with everything else in the house.

On 13th day of their fresh pro-quota stir, some Jat leaders, accompanied by Khap representatives, held talks with Haryana government today and demanded withdrawal of "false cases" registered against youths in connection with the February stir and adequate compensation for the relatives of those who had died.

Haryana's khap panchayats have found support in Kurukshetra MP and Congress leader Naveen Jindal who has now agreed to take their message to the Centre.
