Khatkar (Jind): The Akhil Bharatiya Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (ABJASS) has called Jat leaders who were present at a meeting with the state government today traitors and asked people to boycott them. Vir Bhan Dhull, general secretary, ABJASS, said, “The Jat leaders who have not been taking part in the peaceful agitation and working on government’s directions are traitors.” He said, “The Jat community will forgive them only if they visit the agitation site and apologise to the protesters. If they don’t, we will break all ties with them.” Dhull also slammed the Jind Deputy Commissioner for creating hurdles for the samiti’s agitation at Julana. “We had received an invitation, but we decided not to take part in any talks with the government in the absence of our national president Yashpal Malik,” said Capt Bhupinder Singh Jaglan (retd), district president, ABJASS. He said, “The current agitation is being run by the ABJASS, so we don’t care who held talks with the government today. The time for assurances is over. We just want the government to accept our demands without any delay.” Dhull said, “Though we have sought permission for agitation at Julana, we are yet to receive a reply from the administration. We will meet the officials today to discuss the issue. If the administration does not allow us, we will discuss the matter with Jat leaders and khaps of the Julana area.”OC
