Haryana state two decade back in reservation agitation
Shafi Shiddique
“The habit is bad to hobby”. It means that if poorest person of the society, who is socio-economic backward and asking small help from government for their livelihood, then it might be his weakness & helplessness, in thus situation it is our responsibility to uplift him for stay in level, but unfortunately, if other communities of society are involved in the same activities, then neither we can help of the country nor prove ourselves as civilized men.
Something like this situation has erupted in Haryana state. The desire of reservation in Jat community has been so dominated, that’s why they engaged in violent activities, resulting Twelve people lost his life while several had wounded and hundreds of vehicles had been set on fire , but the fire is still flaming.
Even though, the govt. has stamped on Jat reservation, but People of Jat community or Haryana state who have suffered a loss, that’s fulfillment neither the reservation can do not state govt. and definitely leader of the agitator are responsible for this incident. Whatever, they kept away themselves from this incident, but pouring Ghee in the flaming fire is being done according to their plans. Here a question could be easily raised, can reservation or agitator leaders return the value of life of those families, who lost their members in this agitation? In fact, the Jat community should not forget, which assets they are cracking down indirectly belong to them and definitely they would have to pay penalty at any cost.
We don’t say any one should not protest for their rights, but need to change the concept of the violent agitation. Factually, the gentlemen of the society don’t consider appropriate to the reservation and came fore to say that reservation should be given weaker of the section, not to be caste basis. In view of the protests in the country, voice has been raised to modify in the constitution. An educated section of society wants that reservation should be given on economic basis rather than caste, by which any community of society doesn’t need to stage protest or hurt of the nation.
We saw the Jat community put pressure of reservation on the govt. forcibly by this agitation, which it proved constitutionally invalid, because agitator leaders would have to peacefully discuss across the table with the govt. on this topic, not only this, It was also responsibility of the govt. that it should have held a debate with the community’s people, become in the shadow of this protest, rowdy elements were benefiting and the an anti-social element pushed the protest into looting and arson. To give a shape of agitation of this phenomenon, the Jat community would remain cause of criticism in history.
We don’t say any one should not protest for their rights, but need to change the concept of the violent agitation. Factually, the gentlemen of the society don’t consider appropriate to the reservation and came fore to say that reservation should be given weaker of the section, not to be caste basis. In view of the protests in the country, voice has been raised to modify in the constitution.
