The decision was taken on Sunday after a marathon meeting held between AIJASS president Yashpal Malik and Haryana minister Krishan Lal Panwar in Delhi on Saturday. In Jind district, the dharna at Khatkar village was lifted by Jats in the presence of Yashpal Malik. On 27 May, a sedition case was registered against him and some others for allegedly threatening peace and communal harmony in Haryana by instigating people to launch a fresh quota agitation. Besides, Malik, AIJASS representatives went to the demonstration sites and informed protesters about the outcome of the meeting and the future course of action.
