Meanwhile, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said everyone in a democracy had the right to demonstrate peacefully without impairing law and order. “We had a meeting with one group of Jat leaders where the government accepted their demand to give job to the next of kin of those who had lost their lives in the agitation last year. Process has been initiated for the same,” he added.

Compensation to those affected by the Jat agitation has already been disbursed as per the survey report. “If anyone has a complaint, he or she can apply to the Claim Commissioner to get the issue settled,” he said.
