Jantar Mantar Protest: Government and CJP at Stalemate
There is a protest at Jantar Mantar where students are demanding changes in education policies.
The government has sent proposals to talk to the protest leaders but wants the talks to happen at the health minister's office or home.
The protest leaders, however, want the talks to happen at the protest site or a neutral place nearby.
The government says they are ready to talk anytime, but the protest leaders say the government tricked them before and they don't trust them.
Both sides are not agreeing on where to have the talks.
The government has sent four proposals for discussions with protesting students.
Talks proposed at Union Health Minister JP Nadda’s office or residence.
CJP insists on talks at Jantar Mantar or a neutral venue near the protest site.
