Talks between the Supreme Court-appointed interlocut­ors and protesters to vacate the road at Shaheen Bagh made little headway on Thursday as the anti-CAA agitators remained firm on continuing with their sit-in at the site. They told the interlocut­ors that once the Citizenshi­p Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens are rolled back, they will not only vacate the road but also clean it.

Senior lawyers Sanjay Hegde and Sadhana Ramachandr­an, the apex court-appointed interlocut­ors who reached the site in the afternoon on the second consecutiv­e day, were not willing to start the discussion in the presence of media.

Both sides -- the police and students -- have pointed fingers at each other for provoking the violence that spilled over other parts of the country.
