Jaipur: The Gurjar community, organised under the banner of Gurjar Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti led by Vijay Bainsla, Saturday gave the state govt an ultimatum until Sunday noon to fulfil their demand to extend full benefits of 5% reservation in govt jobs and education for most backward classes (MBCs). It also threatened a Gurjar agitation in Rajasthan if their demand was not met.A Gurjar Mahapanchayat will be held in Peelupura, Bharatpur, on June 8 to press for several demands, including 5% reservation in govt jobs and education, samiti president Vijay Bainsla said. “If the govt does not pay attention to our demands, then we will have to resort to agitation. There are many demands of the Gurjar community which the govt has not fulfilled yet,” he said.It will be the first mahapanchayat of the community since the death of Col Kirori Bainsla, prominent Gurjar leader and Vijay Bainsla’s father.Bainsla said, “We have been in constant dialogue with the govt. I’ve written several letters to the CM and chief secretary. I’ve met them and handed over our demands. Even after this if they say they didn’t get the demand letter, I have no solution. If we need to give the draft of Gurjar demands to the govt again, we will.”Meanwhile, before the mahapanchayat, MoS Home Jawahar Singh Bedam has been put forward by the state govt for talks. A demand letter of the Gurjar community was handed to Bedam on Saturday again. Bedam said he will negotiate with the samiti on behalf of the govt.
