Jat Row - Bhoopinder Singh Hooda sits on indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar

As the Jat reservation row intensifies in Haryana, it's no surprise that the fire has spread to neighbouring Delhi-NCR region with water crisis, rail-bus services disturbed and protests.

However, former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has involved Delhi further by bringing the issue right in the centre of Delhi at Jantar Mantar today.

Demanding that the reservation row be handled in a peaceful manner, Hooda is sitting on an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar.

He was joined in by people from Haryana. One of his supporters said that Hoodaji wants to de-escalate the matter.

"He doesn't want caste wars over the reservation issue in Haryana."
