Paswan said the protesters are ready for talks with the state government and appealed to Chief Minister Hemant Soren to engage with the students. He said that the students will present their demands before the Chief Minister and hope they will be considered seriously. "Our protest demonstration will continue until the government accepts our demands; it will be an indefinite protest," he said. Paswan also appealed to students across Jharkhand to join the agitation at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium in large numbers. He specifically mentioned Jharkhand Chief Minister and BJP leader Babulal Marandi, who visited the protesters and extended their support.
