Jat protestors give up agitation in Haryana, but protests to continue in Delhi
Jat protestors have given up agitation for reservation in Haryana after assurance (supposedly in writing) from Hoodaji. The question is how seriously can we take these assurances to be. It is the same Hooda ji who when in opposition supported the cause of Jat reservation and completely forgot about it when he came to power the first time and then even the second time. But Hoodaji had no hesitation or shame in giving Punjabi language the second official language status in Haryana. But he shies away from the Jat cause. Chautala ji didnot do anything either when he was in power. What use it that we then support and feel happy that a Jat has become a CM in Haryana/Delhi/Rajasthan/UP.
Jat reservation supporters in Delhi have however reiterated that their agitation would continue and that they would chalk out a calendar of activities in this regard. Let us try to understand that this is going to be a long drawn war with a lot of battles spread out on the way which would involve some collateral damage. We need to have a lot of patience and perseverance and should take on the mantle turnwise in this long drawn struggle.
I strongly believe that there is lot of scope for networking and use of technology within the community - sms, emails, internet, etc which will surely help us mobilise our members and resources at short notice. At the same time, we need to form sub-committees with each specialising in a certain field - a legal committee comprising of legal aspects specialising in legal matters especially constitutional affairs, IT committee specialising in the setting up and spreading of information technology networking within the community, media communication committe - specialising in putting across the true picture and voice of the community to the general population, Resource mobilisation committee - garnering and managing funds for the Jat reservation campaign, Political cell which will shortlist, chose and support only those Jat politicians who truly support the cause, etc. etc. We need to have representative offices in various towns, cities, villages which will be networked to the main hub. We need to have more of community meetings across all those representative offices and at the hub.
I know the above seems good in print but is actually difficult to achieve in practice but we have to do it for the good of all by giving to it our time, effort, expertise, etc.
The current breed of Jat politicians in general is useless for Jat causes and needs to be ignored at present and in future. Its time to learn from our past mistakes and move on.
