A bill to provide reservation to Jats and four other castes will be introduced in the budget session of the Haryana Assembly beginning March 14, chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Saturday.
He, however, said, “there will be no tinkering with the 27 per cent reservation for OBCs already given. But within the ambit of the Constitution, separately whatever reservation provision is possible will be made in this Bill, and it will be given for Jats, Jat Sikhs, Tyagis, Bishnois and Rors.”
He said that going by the promise made, “We are going to bring a Bill in the coming session of the Assembly starting March 14.”
“Through this Bill, the reservation which we have to give, we will do it, there are no two thoughts on that,” he asserted in a statement.
Mr Khattar said that a five-member committee had already been constituted under the chairmanship of the chief secretary to prepare draft of the Bill to grant reservation.
He also said that an all-party committee was being constituted to give suggestions for drafting the Bill.
Mr Khattar urged the chiefs of all registered political parties to send the names of their representatives to the government for the committee.
