The second phase of the Jat quota agitation, which entered its 14th day on June 18, is being called off on Sunday after the All India Jat Aarkshan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS) agreed to end it following a marathon meeting between Yashpal Malik, AIJASS president, and Krishan Lal Panwar, Haryana minister, in New Delhi.
"The Haryana government has accepted almost all our demands and assured us it will resolve our issues within the ambit of the law... The state government has been given time till Aug. 31 to resolve our issues," Malik was quoted as saying in an Indian Express report.
