Bainsla refuses to meet Raje in Jaipur 

Agencies

Karwadi (Bharatpur), May 25: Kirori Singh Bainsla, who is spearheading the Gujjar agitation, refused to travel to Jaipur to hold talks with Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. He said the parleys should be held in Karwadi.

The Gujjar agitation for ST status on Sunday showed no signs of abating with its leader Kirori Singh Bainsla refusing to travel to Jaipur to hold talks with Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje as four injured in police firing died taking the toll to 35.

As protestors vowed to continue their stir, Army deployed in four districts affected by agitation-- Bharatpur, Dausa, Karauli and Sawaimadhopur- conducted flag marches and maintained a strict vigil.

Spearheading the agitation, Bainsla, who has been camping in Kherwadi area in the Bayana block here, said he would not leave his supporters go to Jaipur to hold talks with Raje and demanded that parleys be held here.

"Who would be responsible if something happens to them (supporters) while I am gone ? The talks, whasoever, should happen in here," he said. Raje had on Saturday invited Bainsla, leader of Gurjar Arakshan Sanyukt Sangarsh Samiti, for parleys in Jaipur.

The four, who died this morning, were injured when police opened fire yesterday in Dausa district, a senior Rajasthan Home Ministry official said in the state capital. So far 19 people have been killed in the Dausa firing while 16 people have died in the police firing in Bharatpur district on Friday.
