New Delhi, Feb 21 (UNI) The Supreme Court-appointed interlocutors, senior advocates Sanjay Hegde and Sadhana Ramachandran, met the anti-CAA protestors on the third consecutive day on Friday at Shaheen Bagh and held talks with them.
However, the talks between the mediators and demonstrators to vacate the protesting site made little headway today, as the anti-CAA protestors were firm on their stand.
In view of the demands of the protestors, the interlocutors started talks in front of the media, but some people started creating a ruckus, after which both of them left in the middle.
They left the site, amid chaos and sloganeering.
On Monday, an apex court bench, headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, gave the directions during hearing of petitions filed by BJP's Dr Nand Kishore Garg and lawyer Amit Sahni, seeking appropriate orders to authorities, to handle the CAA protesters at Shaheen Bagh.
It granted one-week time to the interlocutors, to talk to the demonstrators and report back. Further hearing was set for February 24.
