Jind: After khap panchayats, now Haryana sarpanches have planned a state-wide campaign against live-in relationships , homosexuality, and marriages within the same village or 'gotra'. On Wednesday, the sarpanches held a meeting in Uchana Kalan town of Jind district, which was headed by Haryana Sarpanch Association's state president Ranbir Singh Samain. During the meet, Samain stated that a Sarvkhap Mahapanchayat will be organised on June 22 in Uchana Kalan. The main objective of this Mahapanchayat is to demand amendments to the Hindu Marriage Act , he added. "The primary focus of the Mahapanchayat is to curb rising social evils, including marriages within the same village, adjoining villages, live-in relationships, and homosexuality. Khap panchayats have long expressed concern over these issues. Elders believe that in the 36 communities, every girl is considered a daughter or sister of the entire village. Marriages within the same village are said to increase hostility between families, leading to negative consequences for both the boy's and the girl's families," said Samain. The sarpanch organisation has stated that they will conduct awareness campaigns across the state on these issues.
