Setting a precedent, over 150 khaps from different parts of Haryana held a maha panchayat in Bibipur on Saturday and resolved to wipe out female foeticide from the state. Women khap members also attended the panchayat. Several khap leaders including Sunil Jaglan, sarpanch of Bibipur, Om Prakash Mann, president of the Akhil Bharatiya Jaat Mahasabha, Dharampal Chhot, president of the All India Jaat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti, and Dr Attar Lal, a representative of Attar Khap, spoke against the female foeticide.

They exhorted the participants to eliminate social evil of  dowry, which, they said, appeared to be one of the rudimentary reasons against having and bringing up a girl child and also strive to inculcate in the families the tradition of equal rights to girls.

Seeking help and awareness from the doctors' fraternity, the speakers held that the society as a whole should also jointly work for the safety of girl children.

Saturday's maha panchayat also seemed to be an attempt to bring themselves as well as Haryana out of the poor light given the skewed sex ratio in the state – about 877 females per 1,000 male.
