Jat reservation: Hisar remains tense

NEW DELHI: Tension prevailed in Hisar on Saturday as the standoff continued between the protesting Jats and the Haryana state government over release of those arrested during the agitation to press for reservation under OBC category.

“We are not going to hold any talk with the state government till the time our demand [of releasing those arrested] is met. There will also be no talks with the Khap leaders, who are only acting on behalf of the state government,” All India Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti leader, Suresh Koth said.
