Rajasthan CM forms committee to hold talks with Gujjar rotestors

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has formed a three-member committee of ministers to hold talks with Gujjar protestors demanding reservation in government jobs. The decision came after the Chief Minister reviewed the situation in the state last night. An official spokesperson said, State Home Minister Shanti Dhariwal, Transport Minister B K Sharma and Energy Minister Jitendra Singh will be the members of the committee. Dhariwal said that the government has received the copy of the Rajasthan High Court judgement on the issue, which is being examined. Gujjar leader Roop Singh, meanwhile, said that they have not received any official invitation for talks to discuss their demand of 5 per cent reservation with the government. Police sources said, the agitators continued to squat on the Delhi-Mumbai rail tracks and blocked Karauli-Hindaun road at Gudhala and Jangipura village, and Mahaveerji-Karauli road at Camery village in Karauli district.
