Naresh Kadyan opinion on this issue of DOGA POLICE....

If there is any error in the system, it should be rectified in the interest of public. Amendment in Hindu Marriage Act which applied to all rest of Hindus other than JAT's should oppose, if ban imposed on same gotra marriage : it must be clarified that this amendment is strictly applicable on Jat community peoples, all aspects be reviewed to satisfy all communities. I have one question that all these DOGA POLICE / Khap's don't have their constitution, bye laws, nor registered as a Charity, let it be get registered first before representing communities and many high profile people got married in same village be exposed. - Naresh Kadyan, Convener of the Kadyan Khap International, C-38, Rose Apartment, Prashant Vihar, sector-14, Rohini, DELHI - 110085.

AN Indian National Lok Dal ( INLD) MLA came out in support of the caste panchayats or khaps on Sunday. This was at a mega caste panchayat meet at Pai near Kurukshetra where members assembled and gave “ elected representatives of the state” a month’s notice to support their campaign. The members have been tirelessly protesting against same sub- caste or same gotra marriages for quite some time. However, it took little time to get a favourable response. Rampal Majra, the INLD MLA, said he “ subscribed to the cause and supported it.” The maha- panchayat meeting was convened to discuss the legitimacy of the same gotra marriage and seek an amendment of the Hindu Marriage Act. Majra, who represents the Kalayat assembly constituency, attended Sunday’s meeting and declared his support for the caste panchayats. He also called for an amendment in the Hindu Marriage Act. The MLA assured the gathering at Pai that he would ask the Congress government in the state to raise their demands before the Centre. “ Politicians should respect the people’s sentiments and uphold the tradition,” Majra said. “ We will urge the ruling party to adopt a resolution against same gotra marriages and put them on the mat in the assembly if they fail to initiate such a move. We support the demands of the khap panchayats in the state,” he added. The representatives of about 90 caste panchayats or the caste courts in Haryana also adopted a resolution during the meeting. They asked the MPs to declare their support for the cause. The members of the caste panchayats said they would bar state MPs from entering their villages if they fail to back them. The representatives also decided to assemble again in Kurukshetra on May 10 and protest against Naveen Jindal, the Congress MP from Haryana. “ We will decide on our next course of action on May 10,” said Randhir Singh, president of Meham Chaubisi Khap. Naresh Kadyan, convenor of Kadyan Khap International, said the community’s demand was “ reasonable and it was for the sake of restoring social norms”. Kadyan, who did not attend Sunday’s meeting, said: “ Why can’t we demand a change? It is our democratic right.”
