Union minister JP Nadda meets protesters to discuss income-based reservation demands
The government aims to address students' concerns and avoid prolonged unrest like previous protests, signaling a willingness for ongoing dialogue.
Union Minister JP Nadda met with protesters who are advocating for income-based reservations in education and government jobs, replacing caste-based quotas. This occurred a week after the group held a demonstration at Jantar Mantar, attended by members Harsh Dubey, Ran Bahadur Singh Chauhan and Mrityunjay Pathak. Nadda, who previously negotiated with Cockroach Janata Party leaders over paper leaks, posted about the meeting on X, though he did not disclose the demands or specifics of their discussion.
The government has not previously acknowledged a scheduled meeting with this group. A BJP official expressed confidence that the government aims to avoid a repeat of the CJP protest, which lasted over 30 days following the use of force by police. The meeting is part of the government's outreach to hear and address the group's concerns.
