Ready to continue talks, but not to end stir
Karwadi/Jaipur: The Gurjar leadership on Sunday rejected the proposals of the Rajasthan government to end the 24-day-old stir but agreed to continue the dialogue process in Jaipur aimed at finding a way out.
The proposals, set out in a letter by the state government, were turned down by community patriarch Kirori Singh Bainsla, senior Gurjar leader Capt (retd) Jagran Singh said on telephone from here.
“There is nothing in the letter that can be accepted by us. Our main demand remains getting scheduled tribes status for the community,” Jagran Singh, considered to be close to 70-year-old Bainsla, said.
The letter was brought to Bainsla by a Gurjar team which was flown from Jaipur in a state government helicopter.
The team, which included Delhi NCP MLA Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and Haryana MLA Sukhbir Singh Jaunpuria, returned to the state capital this evening carrying the views of the community leadership.
“Further talks will be held in Jaipur with the government,” Bainsla told reporters after he was briefed on the outcome of the two days of Gurjar-government discussions which concluded on Saturday.
“My presence in the talks will depend on the government’s response to the fresh suggestions given by us. I will not be going to Jaipur for now,” Bainsla, who is camping in this Gurjar agitation nerve centre, said.
Both Bainsla and chief minister Vasundhara Raje have so far stayed away from the talks. Details of the proposals made by the state government and the response to them by the Gurjar Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti have not been made public as yet.
