No parallel protest plan, says Jat body

ROHTAK: Claiming that efforts were on to divide the community and scuttle the farmers’ agitation, the Akhil Bharatiya Jat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti (ABJASS) on Thursday said it had no plans to start parallel protests.

At a press conference here on Thursday, samiti’s state spokesperson Rohtash Hooda said a few former members had “spread lies that ABJASS national head Yashpal Malik wanted to weaken the farmers’ agitation”.
