“We Are Saviours, Not Destroyers,” Sehwag Appeals to Jat Agitators
In his appeal, Sehwag said that people of the community are saviours, not destroyers.
Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has appealed to the jats to end their violent agitation for reservation, saying that people of the community are saviours and not destroyers.
“I appeal to all my brothers to give up violence and present their demands in a constitutional manner. We are saviours, not destroyers,” Sehwag, who is himself a jat, tweeted.
“We have made the country proud whether in the army or in sports, our zeal should be used to do good for the country,” he added.
The Jat community is demanding reservation and despite various leaders, including the Haryana Chief Minister M L Khattar, appealing to them to maintain peace, there was no let up in the protests which have disrupted everyday life in Rohtak, Jind, Bhiwani, Jhajjar, Sonipat and Hisar.
