The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has rejected an invitation to meet Union Minister JP Nadda at his residence, insisting that any dialogue with the government should take place at or near Jantar Mantar, where its protest is underway. CJP leaders say they are open to talks at a neutral venue but only if the government is genuinely willing to address their demands.
CJP Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das
says, “This morning, the police reached out to us again and informed us that Union Minister JP Nadda wanted to speak with us. They invited us to his residence, but we categorically declined. We are not going to anyone’s house or office. A ‘janata darbar’ is being held here, and if the ministers want to talk, they should come to the people. The discussion should take place at Jantar Mantar. At the same time, we are reasonable people. If the government is concerned about security at the protest site, we are willing to meet at a neutral venue near Jantar Mantar. We are still waiting to hear back from them.
He adds, “The government must have the intention to accept our demands. There is no point in calling us for meaningless discussions. Our time is valuable. Thousands of people are still participating in the protest, and we have to manage that as well… The government should clarify whether it genuinely intends to engage with us…”
