Gujjars plan “jail bharo” from October 2
Special Correspondent
JAIPUR: The Gujjar community’s ‘mahapanchayat’ in Dholpur district on Thursday refused to condone the Rajasthan Government’s act of extending the term of the Justice Jasraj Chopra Committee by another three months.
The Committee was appointed to look into the Gujjars’ demand for Scheduled Tribe status .
The mahapanchayat, which went on for seven hours from 10 a.m. amidst minor skirmishes and flare-ups amongst the jostling crowd, finally resolved to commence a “jail bharo”(courting arrest) agitation from October 2, the Gandhi Jayanti day.
A day after the deadline set by the community leaders for a positive response to their demand from the Government expired, the Gujjar leaders on the dais at Pabuji Ki Than, a religious place some 37 km from Dholpur town in Bari tehsil, were visibly floundering but those assembled there from several States — Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra — were firm on not granting any more time to the State Government.
