Police fired tear gas at CJP protesters after trying to stop their march near Raisina Road which is around 200 metres from Parliament.
Security was tightened and increased as police used batons to disperse the crowd, NDTV reported. Several protesters were injured and received first aid at the site, as per the Hindu.
According to eyewitnesses, this was done to disperse hundreds of students and youth activists marching from Mandi House Metro Station towards Jantar Mantar.
Later, the CJP said the Centre had reached out for talks, and that two of its spokespersons would meet Union Minister JP Nadda to present the group's demands, according to the Hindu.
