The Haryana Government on Monday was in for a major concern with the State’s Jats agitating for quota in the Government services, which let two dead and several others injured, when the police had to open fire to control the mob.
One of the deceased was identified as Sunil, while the identity of the other casualty was not confirmed. The injured were admitted in the hospitals in Hisar and other places for treatment, while Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda ordered a magisterial inquiry into the violence.
The incident took place at Mayyar village in Hisar district. The agitating mobs burnt as many as six vehicles, disrupted the regular vehicular traffic along with disrupting the movement of several trains in the region. The protests for quota were reported from Sonepat, Sirsa, Hisar, and Bhiwani districts, and are likely to spread in other parts of the State soon.
The main Opposition INLD was quick to condemn the State Government for inciting the mob.
“It was peaceful demonstration, but the police personnel chose to lathicharge them, which further flared up the crowd. Action should be taken against the erring cops,” said Ashok Arora, MLA and senior INLD leader.
“The State Government has no control over the police forces. They did not act, when Dalit houses were burnt in Mirchpur in Hisar district. They do not have respect for democratic values. Chief Minister Hooda must take action against the erring cops. Why the police forces have gone out of his control,” he asked.
The agitation for quota in Haryana is being spearheaded by the All India Jat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS). It is said that the outfit has not only the tacit support of INLD leaders, but also a section of the Congress leaders who do not want to see Hooda holding the coveted post any longer.
Given the sensitivity of the issue, Chief Minister Hooda was quick in announcing a magisterial inquiry by the Divisional Commissioner, Hisar, to look into the circumstances leading to the death of one person and injuries to others during the ‘Chetawni Rally’ held by All India Jat Arakshan Sangrash Samiti at village Mayyar near Hansi on National Highway No 10 on Monday. The report would be submitted in a month’s time.
A Government statement said that several police personnel, including Hisar SP Subhash Yadav, were injured as mob indulged in arson, causing damage to public property and resorted to heavy stone-pelting on police personnel during the ‘Chetawni Rally’ being held by AIJASS, demanding reservation for Jats in the Government services.
A spokesman of Haryana Police said they had put blockade at the National Highway No 10, Delhi-Hisar road thus causing inconvenience to the people. A mob attacked the vehicles and put them on fire, damaged bank and indulged in stone-pelting.
