Lucknow: In a significant development, the Jat community, specifically those belonging to the Dhankhar gotra, has enforced a ban on Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders from entering 62 villages in western Uttar Pradesh. The decision was made during a panchayat of the community in Baghpat district on December 22, in response to the recent incident of mimicry and insult directed at Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Parliament premises on December 19.
The panchayat, held in Faizpur Ninana village, Baghpat, expressed strong displeasure over the disrespectful incident. Community leaders and residents unanimously resolved to implement several measures to protest the insult to the Vice President.
It was collectively decided that leaders from the Congress and TMC would be prohibited from entering 62 villages in western UP, an area with a significant Dhankhar gotra population. The community is also demanding an apology from Rahul Gandhi, who recorded the episode of mimicry.
Additionally, the panchayat decided to stage protests, including the potential encirclement (gherao) of the Parliament, if the politicians involved in insulting the Vice President do not issue an apology. The community members agreed to boycott and oppose those who were part of the insulting act or supported it.
Harendra Singh, former Pradhan of Faizpur Ninana Village, expressed, "This panchayat was organized in protest against the insult of Jagdeep Dhankhar Ji in Parliament. We will always oppose those who have done this. This decision has been taken in the panchayat. We will not support such a party or someone who insults our community. There is deep resentment in society. The insult of the Dhankhar gotra, the entire OBC, and farmer brothers will not be tolerated."
He added, "People of Dhankhar Gotra are in Haryana and Rajasthan as well. These people will not tolerate insult at any cost. A meeting was also held there three to four days ago. There was also a demonstration. If they do not apologize, we will protest."
Netrapal Singh, a local who attended the panchayat, remarked, "The Vice President was insulted in Parliament. We will hold a panchayat and go to Parliament House. Rahul Gandhi should apologize. If he doesn't apologize, we will stage a protest and gherao Parliament. Everyone is unhappy about this. The Jat community will also oppose those who remain on Congress-TMC’s side and do not oppose it."
During the winter session of Parliament, a massive ruckus led to the suspension of 141 MPs due to their disruptive behavior. Amidst these tensions, on December 19, opposition MPs staged protests outside the Parliament House. Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee engaged in mimicry of Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Compounding the controversy, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi was seen recording a video of this demeaning act. Describing the incident as shameful, the Vice President said that it was ridiculous and unacceptable that one MP was making fun of him and another MP was making a video of the incident, underscoring the lack of decorum in the situation.
