Officials said the Nagaur district administration has given prohibitory orders under the Indian Citizen Security Sanhita (BNSS) to prevent “caste tension” ahead of rallies by Rajputs and Jat organizations.

Citing these circumstances and to maintain peace and law and order in the district, the Collector imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of BNS. The provision is related to the power of issuing orders in immediate cases of nuisance or apprehension danger. As part of the order, there is a complete ban on rallies, protests and processions etc. by June 20.
The tension began mainly after being seen as a Jat leader as a Jat leader, allegedly made objectionable claims against the Rajputs regarding the Mughals.
In response, Raj Shekhawat, a Kshatriyas Karni Sena self-style leader, asked a Kshatriya self-respecting Asmita Mahasammelan to protect the self-esteem of our ancestors, Kshatrani, gods and goddesses and great men. He said that “Kshatriya has hurt” Kshatriya pride “and this was not the first time.” Either we would create history.
The Shekhawat has been holding meetings in Nagaur for the last few weeks to gather support for the Shekhawat rally, demanding the termination of the Lok Sabha membership of Beniwal and demanding police action against him. An outsider, his campaign was met by BJP leader Dhananjai Khimsar, son of Rajasthan Cabinet Minister Gajendra Singh, when he received a shot in his hand. However, Dhananjai indicated that it was a simple conversation because “all welcome their place” and it was not a meeting to exclude a “strategy”. Attacking those who spread the “rumors”, he said that “is the essence of dialogue service and politics.”
