Gurjar body threatens to relaunch stir

KOTA: The Gurjar Arakshan Sangarsh Samiti (GASS) has threatened to relaunch its agitation if cases filed against those who participated in a stir a year ago are not withdrawn in 10 days.

"We have no option but to relaunch the agitation if the cases are not withdrawn in 10 days according to our agreement with the state government," Samiti convener Col (retd) Kirori Singh Bhainsla said.

Bhainsla, who was attending the unveiling ceremony of a statue of Gokul Gurjar yesterday at Honija village in Hindoli in Bundi district, said the Gurjar movement for the community's inclusion among Scheduled Tribes was far from dead and would be revived if the government did not honour the agreement.
