THE ONGOING Jat con*clave here saw prominent members from all over the world discuss their commu*nity's future and issues of concern. Discussions at Talkatora stadium on Saturday fo*cused on the lack of quality education and growing unemployment among the youth, particularly in rural areas. Participants felt there was a need to reform the society and do away with female infanticide and dowry. They felt successive governments had failed to ad*dress their problems. The community is now planning to raise the issue during the general elections. The dwindling fortune of farmers was also an issue of con*cern. Farmers said they were facing severe financial crisis.
