The protesting organisations said in a joint statement that they submitted a memorandum to the Ministry of Education. Representatives of different organisations addressed the gathering outside Shastri Bhawan. Since no one from the ministry came to the demonstrating people, a delegation was sent to the ministry with the  memorandum. The organisations said they would heap on their protest, if their demands are not fulfilled.
