| The standoff between Gujjars and Rajasthan government is set for spiritual mediation.
Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravishankar has landed up in Bayana to mediate between Col Kirori Singh Bainsla and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje.
''The talks are not being held in haste. In fact, it's getting late. Many lives have been wasted. There has been so much inconvenience. Travelling has become difficult in the country. Things will be sorted out through talks,'' said Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Earlier on Tuesday Sri Sri was in Jaipur where he met chief minister Vasundhara Raje and other BJP leaders.
He's now reaching Bayana, the epicentre of the Gujjar agitation, to meet Gujjar leader Bainsla and his group of Gujjar protestors who have been sitting on the railway tracks for the past 18 days in Peelupura village near Bayana.
Talks stalled
Efforts by Rajasthan government to end the 18-day-old Gujjar stir has run into rough weather with the community leadership making fresh demands of release of arrested women activists and withdrawal of murder charges against 20 protestors as pre-condition for further talks.
Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla, who had termed the first round of parleys on Monday as a ''good beginning'', has made the two demands a pre-condition for the talks which were to be held in Jaipur, a senior state government official said.
He said that the written commitment given by 70-year-old Bainsla in Bayana on Monday about holding of the next round of talks has been retracted.
''However we are making all efforts from our side'' to revive the dialogue process, the official said on phone from Gujjar stronghold of Bayana in this district.
