The Instagram-based campaign, which has around 5.6 million followers and employs Cockroach Janta Party-style tactics, had called supporters to a physical protest at Jantar Mantar on Friday.

Protestors demanded an end to caste-based reservation and its replacement with an economic criteria-based system of affirmative action. Several protesters were detained by Delhi Police on Friday.

In a post on X, RHA said: "The government has agreed to discuss the demands of the activists of the reservation reform movement. Harsh Bhai has informed that a central minister will personally hold talks with the protesters."

It expressed hope that influencers including Ajeet Bharti, Neha Laldas and Anand Ranganathan would be included, noting they could present the issues "with much greater clarity and strength through their arguments and data."

The post added that "the movement has not ended yet."

Protesters outlined five main demands: First, greater weight to economic conditions so that assistance for education, coaching and scholarships reaches the poor regardless of caste.

Second, a "quota within quota" system and creamy-layer criteria to ensure benefits reach the most disadvantaged within reserved categories.

Third, a government white paper reviewing the impact of reservations over eight decades.

Fourth, maintenance of minimum marks for admissions to higher education institutions such as IITs and IIMs to protect "merit".

Fifth, expanded benefits for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), including fee waivers and other facilities currently available to Scheduled Castes.

Beyond these, protesters also raised concerns about the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and higher education policies under the University Grants Commission.
