In a development that will give a relief to Haryana’s ruling BJP, the Jats 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, after marathon talks between the community leaders and the state government.
The decision was announced late on Sunday 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. Khattar had on Saturday invited Malik to hold talks in an apparent bid to pacify the angry Jats who had threatened to disrupt the BJP chief’s proposed rally.
