Gujjar stir: Talks to go on tomorrow; Raj govt to make fresh

May 28, 2015 00:34

Talks to resolve the stand-off over the issue of job reservation for Gujjars will continue tomorrow with a spokesperson for their delegation saying a breakthrough is likely during the fresh parleys after Rajasthan government today expressed its inability to meet their demands.

Rajasthan government invited the Gujjars for another round of talks tomorrow with the assurance of a fresh formula to resolve the impasse after it told them today that it would not be possible to accord five per cent quota in jobs within the legal limit of 50 per cent.

A separate quota within the 50 per cent would have adverse consequences for social harmony in the state, the government said.
