Minister for General Administration Rekha Sharma said that the today's scheduled meeting was postponed due to UDMF's decision though the government was committed to resolving the crisis through dialogue. The meeting was scheduled to hold at 1:00 pm today. However, UDMF leader Laxman Lal Karna said that they had informed the government that they wouldn't sit for dialogue unless their arrested cadres were released. He added that they were also eager to seek solutions of the ongoing agitation through dialogues but government arrested their leaders and cadres, creating unease environment to sit for talks. RSS
