Union minister says govt approached CJP 4 times, ready to talk and find solution

Union Minister Says Govt Approached CJP Four Times for Peaceful Resolution

Bharatmorningnews.com – Union minister says govt approached CJP 4 times in a sustained effort to resolve ongoing tensions with the Cockroach Janata Party. The central government has made multiple diplomatic overtures to the protest organization, which has consistently maintained that ministers should visit the demonstrators rather than the other way around. CJP spokesperson Saurav Das emphasized that the party is conducting a traditional janata darbar at Jantar Mantar and expects government officials to come directly to the people.

The latest development comes after police officials made another formal contact with the CJP leadership to convey Union Minister JP Nadda’s willingness to hold discussions. Despite this renewed attempt at engagement, the party declined to accept the invitation to meet at Nadda’s residence. “We are not going to anyone’s house or office,” Das stated with conviction. “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.”

Government’s Persistent Outreach Efforts

On Thursday, Union Minister Jitendra Singh provided detailed insights into the government’s approach, revealing that officials have made four separate attempts to reach out to the CJP leadership. Singh emphasized that the government remains flexible and open to holding talks wherever the party prefers, whether at Nadda’s home or workplace. This demonstrates the administration’s commitment to finding a peaceful resolution through dialogue rather than confrontation.

Wherever you want we can discuss, either at Nadda Ji’s house or office.

Singh confirmed that both he and the Union Health Minister would personally attend any future discussions with the CJP representatives. He expressed confidence that through patient and persistent dialogue, a meaningful resolution could be reached. “Slowly, by way of discussion, we will progress towards a solution,” Singh remarked, noting that the government does not prioritize ego in such matters. The minister’s comments reflect a pragmatic approach to governance that values substance over formality.

We do not stand on prestige.

CJP’s Clear Conditions for Engagement

While declining to visit Nadda’s residence, Das mentioned that the party remains flexible regarding the venue for discussions. If security considerations prevent talks at the protest location, the CJP would welcome meetings at a neutral site close to Jantar Mantar. The party is currently waiting for the government’s response to this proposal, which represents a compromise position that balances their principles with practical considerations.

Das also raised important concerns about the substance of potential discussions. He questioned whether the Centre truly intended to address the party’s core demands or was merely engaging in superficial dialogue. “Our time is valuable,” he pointed out. “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.”

He added that holding “meaningless discussions” would be pointless unless the government showed willingness to consider the party’s requests seriously. This concern highlights the importance of substantive engagement rather than mere ceremonial meetings.

Student Welfare Remains Central Focus

Describing the ongoing outreach as part of a broader initiative, Singh characterized these efforts as continuous steps aimed at benefiting students. He extended a humble invitation to CJP leaders to participate in the talks, emphasizing that the government’s primary concern is the welfare of students across the country.

Humbly, I appeal to you all to come and have discussions.

I again request them to come for discussions and let us find a solution.

The government’s approach reflects a recognition that student concerns require immediate attention and genuine consideration. With four formal approaches already made, officials are demonstrating patience and commitment to finding common ground. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether these efforts will lead to a meaningful resolution or if further escalation is inevitable.
