"We want to resolve it. We have not been harsh with the students at all. We have been extremely liberal with the students," Rathore told reporters at a press conference here.
"Unfortunately the students have taken an extremely hardline stand. We are ready to resolve all issues. We have had multiple talks with them," he said.
The Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting said that there have been innumerable backdoor negotiations with students.
"Some well known actors, directors, producers have negotiated. They have given up. People who were negotiating have given up," he said.
