Criticising three BJP parliamentarians for opposing Jat reservation, the Sarv Jat Khap Panchayat today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to suspend them.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Panchayat President Nafe Singh Nain said three MPs -- Raj Kumar Saini, Rao Inderjit Singh and Satpal Saini -- have been opposing the reservation despite the PM and BJP President Amit Shah assuring him of maintaining reservation in a meeting on 26 March.
The Panchayat leader threatened that the MPs will not be allowed to enter any village if they don't stop opposing the reservation. "These MPs have been opposing reservation for Jats. And hence there is an anger against them in the Jat community," he said in the letter.
He said the community would hold a rally at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on May 11 and decide its further course of action.
Last month the Supreme Court had set aside a 2014 notification that had included Jats in OBC list in nine states.
If the reservation for Jats is not restored "within time the rally can take any form", he warned.
