Gujjars to court arrest Jaipur, Oct. 1: Security has been beefed up in Rajasthan following the Gujjar community's call for a mass arrest campaign on Gandhi Jayanti. The government has made over 200 makeshift jails and executive magistrates have been posted in sensitive areas. "We have made all necessary arrangements to maintain peace during the agitation," said Rajasthan home minister Gulabchand Kataria. "We are ready to accept them if they offer themselves for mass arrest, but we will ensure law and order," said Mr Kataria. The Gujjar leaders claimed that over 500,000 Gujjars will present themselves at seven divisional headquarters on Tuesday to court arrest. Meanwhile, tribal leaders from all over India assembled in Jaipur and said they would not accept any division in the Scheduled Tribe list. The tribal leaders, including Central ministers, were busy on Monday drafting a "Jaipur declaration" on the tribal issue. The administration has acquired government buildings, like schools and offices, for use as makeshift jails. The administration also hired vehicles to transport the Gujjars. "The Gujjar leaders assured us that they would maintain the peace. We hope the agitation will pass off peacefully," Mr Kataria said. "It is on the government. If the government uses force to victimise us, it will be their responsibility," said rebel BJP MLA Prahlad Gunjal.
