Jat agree to withdraw their Jind rally, giving relief to BJP and Amit Shah

In a development that will give a relief to Haryana's ruling BJP, Jat have decided not to hold their rally in Jind on February 15, when BJP chief Amit Shah will attend a bike rally in the town, giving a major relief to Haryana’s BJP. The decision was announced Sunday night after Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, Union Minister Birender Singh, senior BJP leader Anil Jain, held a five-hour-long meeting with a Jat delegation led by All-India Jat Aarakshan Sangarsh Samiti president Yashpal Malik in New Delhi. After Khattar met Malik, he said, the Haryana government has decided to withdraw all cases registered in connection with the violence which broke out during a Jat quota agitation in the state in February 2016. The Jat outfit had planned to take out their own rally in Jind on February 15 with 50,000 tractor-trolleys to disrupt Shah's bike rally. Replying to a question, Malik told reporters the state government will place before the Backward Class Commission data collected by it by March 31 to decide the reservation percentage. About the cases registered during the quota stir, he said, "The cases within the Haryana government's domain, all such cases will be taken back.” -PTC News
