Reached out 4 times, says govt; talks at Jantar Mantar or a neutral venue, says CJP
Union minister Jitendra Singh invited protesters for talks, stating the government has reached out to Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) four times since Wednesday afternoon.
CJP refused further talks after a July 20 meeting with health minister J P Nadda, alleging no outcome, and insists the next meeting be at Jantar Mantar or a neutral venue.
Government emissary Nadda offered talks at his residence or office, rejecting CJP's venue suggestion, but said talks can happen at either of those places.
Jitendra Singh said the government is ready to discuss the NEET issue and other related issues with an open mind, and appealed for dialogue to find a solution.
