Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) 'categorically' declined government's invitation to meet Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Wednesday, saying that the government should now come to the protest site at Jantar Mantar.
Speaking to reporters, CJP Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das said, “This morning, the police reached out to us again and informed us that BJP national president JP Nadda wanted to speak with us. They invited us to his residence, but we categorically declined. We are not going to anyone's house or office."

A 'janata darbar' is being held here, he said, adding that the ministers should come to the people if they want to talk. "The discussion should take place at Jantar Mantar."
Das added that if the government had security concerns, CJP was willing to meet at a neutral venue near the protest site. He also said the government should first clarify whether it genuinely intended to address the party's demands, adding that there was no point in holding "meaningless discussions."
