Despite heavy police deployment in the affected areas, the Jat stir has resulted in such a huge loss of public property as well in serious law and order situation in Haryana. So many violent incidents were reported from various parts in Jhajjar and Rohtak. Shops were ransacked and burnt. Homes, offices and even banks were looted, vehicles were put on fire. There was wreckage everywhere. While returning back home from my office in Manesar, I got to see so many broken furniture strewn around on the streets, I was definitely petrified. I have also read in some reports about incidents where the mob turned violent and attacked anyone and everyone they came across on the streets; they were carrying sticks, rods and axes!
Delhi too was affected by the Jat stir. Traffic came to a standstill at so many places like Dwarka underpass, GTB Nagar, Narela, Nazafgarh and Badarpur and remain so for hours because the protesters had blocked the roads.
A couple of years back, it were the Gujjars and last year, it were the Patidars in Gujarat. This time it's the jat community. Tomorrow it will be some other caste community. If such demands for more caste reservations continue, it will be the death of India. Apparently this agitation has been started by the Jat community to demand reservation in govertment jobs and education institutions under economically backward classes. So is this the way to ask for the betterment of one's own community? By destroying public property?
