thanks SAD for supporting their movement
Expressing the plight of the economically backward Jatt community across the state, the members of the deputation demanded that a fresh survey must be conducted by the state to know the dilemma of majority of Jatt families and OBC status must be given to them so that these economically weaker Jatts could also avail reservations at various levels.
Expressing concern over the issue raised by the delegation, Mr. Badal asked his Principal Secretary to study the entire matter thoroughly so that the state government could accordingly chalk out the modalities in this regard. He said that SAD-BJP government was fully committed for the welfare of the economically weaker sections of the society. Mr. Malik thanked Mr. Badal and his political party (SAD) for supporting their cause.
