Congress targets PM Modi over Jat violence in Haryana

The Congress Party on Sunday held the BJP Government responsible for the agitation by members of the Jat community in Haryana and criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failing to bring the situation under control.

“The situation in Haryana is deliberately being deteriorated by the ruling Modi government.

The situation in the national capital has become so grim that the water may not be available from tomorrow,” Congress leader Pramod Tiwary told ANI “The BJP government in Haryana is provoking the conflict between the communities, I would like to ask the Prime Minister Modi to hand over the powers to others if he is not able to manage the situation,” he added.

Five protesters were killed in firing by the security forces in Haryana on Saturday, taking the death toll in the Jat quota agitation to six. The situation continued to remain tense in several parts of Haryana on Sunday.
