Rahul Gandhi and Student Protesters Present Differing Conditions Ahead of Talks
Rahul Gandhi has set three conditions for talks on the ongoing student protests: the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, action against those accused of attacking students, and an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The protesting students, represented by the Chhatra Janata Parishad (CJP), have four demands including compensation for affected families, withdrawal of FIRs against innocent protesters, and action against police officers involved in the crackdown. The differing demands highlight varying approaches to resolving the protests as negotiations near.
