Seven khap heads decide to join RLD rally in Muzaffarnagar

The heads of seven 'khap' panchayat in the western Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district on Wednesday decided to participate in a rally to be held by the RLD to protest against the police lathi-charge at its workers and leader Jayant Chaudhary in Hathras early this week.

The khap heads had announced their participation in the rally while condemning the lathi-charge on Rashtriya Lok Dal national general secretary Chaudhary and party workers who had gone to Hathras to meet the family members of the Dalit woman, who had been gang-raped. The Khap leaders took this decision to join the RLD rally in a meeting that they held in Sisauli on Wednesday, a khap spokesperson said.
