Rohtak: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar was heckled and shown black flags during his visit to Rohtak, the epicenter of Jat reservation protests, on Tuesday.

Even as protesters hurled ‘Murdabaad’ slogans, the CM said that said that strict action will be initiated against those responsible for violence in the state and a probe will also be conducted to find out who perpetrated the violence.

“Action will also be taken against district and police officials for any lapses in handling the situation,” Khattar added.

The CM said his government will form a committee to probe the complaints of any lapses by police, district or any other officials.

The BJP government in Haryana has promised reservation for the Jat community and assured that a Bill will be brought in the next session of Assembly. The Centre has also formed a committee to look into the demands.

Meanwhile, Khattar is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi later in the day and brief him on the situation in Haryana.

Curfew was relaxed in Rohtak town, the worst hit by the Jat agitation violence.
