Gujjar row: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar set to mediate

JAIPUR: Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar arrived here on Tuesday to mediate between the Rajasthan government and Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla to defuse the 17-day imbroglio.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, BJP's state unit chief Gopi Nath Munde, party spokesperson Prakash Javedekar, state BJP president Om Prakash Mathur and other senior leaders called on Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
The spiritual guru is staying at the residence of Rajya Sabha MP Ram Das Agarwal.
About a week ago, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had sent a group of his followers to interact with agitating Gujjar leaders who have been demanding Scheduled Tribe status for the community.
