Nadda said the protesters’ delegation met him and submitted a written petition following detailed discussions.
“This morning, for the first time, a proposal came from the protesters to hold talks with the government, and our discussions have been ongoing since 11:50 AM.
The meeting took place in a cordial atmosphere. An initial verbal discussion was held in detail with their delegation, and they submitted a written petition to me around 4 PM.
I have requested all the protesters to end their sit-in and assist the administration in restoring normalcy.”
The remarks came amid the ongoing CJP-led protest, with demonstrators demanding accountability over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations and recurring paper leaks. The protesters have also sought the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
