We have been saying that if the government wants to talk, then show us the letter of the central government or the CM office of Haryana or Punjab... We want the central government to accept our demands... They should give us a place to protest in Delhi... Internet services should be restored in Ambala... Either we should be allowed to go to Delhi or we should be talked to..."
