Meerut: Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Mahendra Singh Tikait has opposed the Jat agitation over quota in Central government jobs and said the community needs no reservation.

"Jats need no reservation and the agitation is only a publicity stunt," he said yesterday.

Tikait said that he was hurt with the agitation being continued in the name of "Jat" which disrupted train services and blocked the highway causing difficulty to several lakh people.

Parveen Bhardwaj - Delhi
Reservations in Jobs and in admissions, apart from curruption and terrorism is another national issue that should be addressed properly, jobs to the needy and admissions on merits. I never find any movement or a statement from any leader or social activist or media in against of this issue. Agitations in Rajasthan, Haryana and in UP for reservations, blocking railway tracks, hitting normal life becomes now easy way to create tension in society. Reservation divides the society on the basis of caste.It becomes serious affair when in intellectual services like medical, engineering people of poor calibre got position and harms the society at large. Divide and rule not only britisher follow that policy but even our politician do that. Reservation policy should be abolished completely in the current form and creamy layer should be kept out of it. Poverty is not associated with any specific caste anymore, albeit Jats community have the maximum land bank in Haryana, UP and in Delhi. Agitation of such form should be declared as terrorism. The CM of the state should also be punished for not maintaining law and order. ESMA should also be amended to control such agitatins. Parveen Bhardwaj
