Who are the major Khaps of Haryana going to back this time? With a fortnight to go for the Assembly elections, the picture is not clear yet. While there have been sharp debates among these informal community organisations over whether to get involved in the upcoming polls by way of supporting particular parties or candidates, at least four Khap leaders have jumped into the electoral fray under party tickets. A faction of the Khap leadership is strongly opposed to their move on the ground that they are a social and as such a non-political entity and entering politics is against their basic norm, custom and traditions.

"There are various Khaps in Haryana. These are non-political and social organisations. Their primary mission is to preserve the social order. A few Khap leaders cannot take decision on behalf of the entire Khaps. We do not approve of the decision of some leaders to contest poll on behalf of some political party. They do not have our support," Kuldeep Dhanda, convener of the Sarv Khap Panchayat (SKP), told Firstpost. Early this month, leaders of several Khaps, including Kandela, Dalal, Barah Kalan, Behra, Sainbarah, Chahal, Rakkhi Barah, Dhull etc held an emergency meeting convened in Jind district by the Sarv Khap Panchayat. The general consensus was that the some of the Khap leaders were trying to misuse the name of Khaps for their personal political gain and this could not be allowed by the community.
