Khap leaders have accused All-India Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS) leader Yashpal Malik of misleading people the people of the state for his financial and political gains.

Malik yesterday described the khap leaders, who had talks with the government, as ‘Sarkari’ agents.

Surender Dahiya, president of Dahiya Khap, today alleged Malik had always been contemptuous of khaps and had been misguiding youths for his financial and political interests.

“He has been collecting crores of rupees for his Global Jat Trust registered in Uttar Pradesh by projecting himself as the messiah of the Jats. The fact is that he has not been able to achieve anything except a promise from the government for that the sedition case registered against him will be cancelled,” said Dahiya.

Dahiya said the major demands of the Jats, including compensation and government jobs to the kin of those killed in the Jat stir in February, and the cancellation of FIRs had already been accepted.

Tek Ram Kandela, president of the Sarv Jatiye Rashtriya Khap Panchayat, said Malik wanted to destroy peace and harmony in the state.

Sube Singh Samain, spokesperson of the Sarv Jat Khap Panchayat, said Malik was least concerned about the welfare of the Jats.
