Bayana, June 9: The first round of talks between Gujjars agitating for Scheduled Tribe status and Rajasthan Government ended in Bayana as the community withdrew its countrywide general strike on Tuesday and agreed to attend next round of negotiations in Jaipur.

Emerging from the over three-hour talks, the Gujjar leaders said the exercise was held in a ‘amicable’ atmosphere.

The talks were attended by two ministers of Vasundhara Raje Government -- L N Dave and S M Jat and a 37-member Gujjar delegation at a Government school.

The Gujjar delegation with representatives from all districts also included V S Choudhary, agitation spearhead Kirori Singh Bainsla's doctor, and Delhi MLA Ramveer Singh Vidhuri.

The over fortnight-long Gujjar agitation, which began on May 23, has left 43 people killed in police firing and clashes in Rajasthan and Haryana.
