Gujjar stir: No breakthrough in 2nd round of talks

May 27, 2015 02:27

A breakthrough was awaited for resolving the Gujjar reservation issue as the second round of talks tonight between a delegation of the agitating leaders and a panel of three Rajasthan ministers failed to arrive at a conclusion. The talks between the 13-member Gujjar delegation and the ministerial committee took place at the Secretariat here and lasted for nearly four hours.

The parleys will resume tomorrow morning as no conclusion was reached tonight, Himmat Singh, spokesperson of the Gujjar Aakrakshan Sangarsh Samiti, told PTI after the meeting.

He said that the Gujjar community members maintained that nothing short of five per cent reservation within the legal limit of 50 per cent would be acceptable to them and it is for the government to offer a workable proposal to meet that demand.
