PTC Web Desk: The Centre and the CJP are scheduled to hold the second round of talks on Friday at 12,30 pm at Delhi's Constitution Club in an effort to resolve the ongoing protest. The meeting comes days after the first round of discussions, held on July 20 at Union Minister JP Nadda's residence, ended without any breakthrough.
Why today's meeting is importantFollowing the unsuccessful talks, the government said it had invited CJP representatives for discussions on four occasions, but they did not attend. The CJP, however, maintained that it was willing to negotiate but did not want the meeting to be held at a Union minister's residence. The group had requested that discussions take place at a neutral venue, leading to today's meeting at the Constitution Club.
