The government had reached out for talks in the morning. Our demands are clear. The youth has gathered in huge numbers.”CJP leader Ashutosh Ranka also said the first communication came through Delhi Police. In an earlier post, he wrote, "We were informed of government's willingness to talk by @DelhiPolice this morning. But there has been no progress on this in the last 5 hours. Is the government trying to deliberately delay the discussions?"Ranka later said he and Das had eventually met Nadda after waiting for more than two hours.“Ashutosh Ranka and I just met J.P. Nadda ji at his residence for 10 minutes. While we submit a written letter with our demands, he has assured us that he will meanwhile speak internally. We are in that process. There is news of mass detention etc,” he posted in the afternoon.In a subsequent post, Ranka elaborated on how the communication between the two sides had developed. "To put the facts straight, it was only late yesterday night that DCP New Delhi reached out for opening a communication channel with government."He added, "There were more serious discussions only from today 6 am, and only around 11.45 am was there an alignment on meeting Nadda ji. We finally met Nadda ji 10 mins ago and he is checking with the leadership internally wrt our demands."Ranka also urged the Delhi Police to stop action against demonstrators, saying, "@DelhiPolice should immediately stop using brute force on peaceful protestors."The meeting between the CJP delegation and Nadda came on a day when thousands of protesters gathered in central Delhi for the outfit's "Chalo Sansad" march.
