SHILLONG: As protests of the Gujjars, who are demanding ST status, spread to fresh areas, the community living in the North-East will also take up the cudgels and launch an agitation in support of the cause.

"Rajasthan Government has betrayed the Gujjars. In spite of the protests, both the Rajasthan Government and the Centre have been indifferent so far," a representative of the Gujjars, Bhai Gujjar, said here on Saturday.

Representatives of the community from the entire region met in Guwahati on Friday to chalk out a programme to join the protests.

While the Gujjars of the North East resolved to form an apex organization of the community in a day or two, the community has also sought permission from the Assam and Meghalaya government to allow them to stage peaceful demonstrations, he said.
