Gujjar Agitation: Talks with Rajasthan Govt begins

The first round of talks between the Rajasthan Government and the agitating Gujjar leaders was held here today even as the sit-in Mahapadav at Gazipur in Dausa district over the demand of five per cent special reservation quota, continued for the fourth day. An 11-member delegation of Gujjars sent by Gujjar Reservation Action Committee convenor Col Kirodi Singh Bainsla, held the opening round of the dialogue with Energy Minister Jitendra Singh and Transport Minister Brijkishore Sharma. The two Ministers are members in the 3-member Ministerial Committee set up by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot for finding an amicable solution to the protracted Gujjar issue.
The talks held in the State Assembly complex lasted for about two hours. Both the Ministers and the Gujjar delegates expressed satisfaction over positive attitude demonstrated during the talks by each other and decided to continue the dialogue at further rounds. Talking to reporters, the two Ministers said the opening round of the deliberations were held in an amicable and positive atmosphere. ''It is appreciable that Gujjar delegates maintained positive attitude and had shown eagerness to find amicable solution of the issue. They are not interested in flaring up of the stir,'' they said. ''The government is also positive and considerant to their demands and trying to explore a legitimate way out,'' Mr Singh said. The Ministers said the second round might be held after sometime later tonight or the next morning and prior to that they would brief the Chief Minister about the first round's discussion. Gujjar delegates also expressed satisfaction over the opening of the discussion and said talks would continue.
