Jat Mahasabha volunteers have demanded action against TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for mimicking Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and recording the act. The protests began after Banerjee derisively mimicked Dhankhar during a protest against MP suspension, drawing strong condemnation from the ruling BJP. Over 1,000 people are expected to gather at Jantar Mantar, with most coming from western Uttar Pradesh.

MUZAFFARNAGAR/MEERUT: Eight years ago, three deaths and a mahapanchayat had set off a chain of events that led to three weeks of riots in Muzaffarnagar. The communal divide it created ran deep.
In the villages of Muzaffarnagar, many Muslims and Jats are putting the bloody history behind them to come together for the farmers’ protest. “It is time to move on,” said Asad Zama, a lawyer who was witness to the riots. “Both communities shape the politics of western UP. Together, we can do a lot.”
