VIJAYPUR: All India Jat MahaSabha President, Ch Manmohan expressed satisfaction and pride over the Jat community youth playing a vital role in guarding the nation on borders as well as in the hinterland. However, he lamented that the youth of this warrior class are not visible in government departments including the most significant seat of governance i.e. the Civil Secretariat. He asserted that in order to ensure equitable justice to the youth of this community it is necessary to grant ‘Other Backward Classes’ OBC status to this section of the society.
Addressing a community gathering at Khour Nandpur in Vijaypur, the Jat leader yet again voiced in high pitch the demand for granting the OBC status to the Jat community before the forthcoming elections to J&K Assembly. He also announced that the Jat Mahasabha will support only that political party in the elections which comes forward to achieve OBC status for the Jats of Jammu and Kashmir.
Lauding the role of Jats in defending the nation, the Jat leader said that it is a record that not a single infiltration attempt has been made by the enemy, terrorists or antinational elements along the areas where the Jat families are residing as these elements are fully aware of the fact that Jats are staunch pro-nationalist and ever prepared to even lay down their lives in defending the honour, dignity and integrity of the nation. He mentioned in present era several youth of Jat community serving the nation on IAS and IPS posts. He mentioned most the Jat community is residing on border areas. He impressed upon the members of the Jat community to understand how OBC status is necessary for the bright future of their children. Our children are fully competent and till date they are found serving only in the belt forces because of their physique and warrior abilities.
Ch Manmohan Singh said, “You can see for yourself that our children rather youth are nowhere visible in government departments especially in secretariat and you need to realize that the grim situation on this front will continue till we are not accorded the OBC status, for which we are struggling till date.” He appealed to the community members especially the youth to come forward and extend full support to strengthen the ongoing struggle by the Jat Mahasabha for getting OBC status so that it can be brought to a logical conclusion.
All India Jat Maha Sabha President while reiterated the demand of the community that the government must grant OBC status to J&K’s Jats before the forthcoming elections to the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
