Maratha Quota: Jarange Announces Indefinite Stir in Mumbai's Azad Maidan From Sep 19
Jarange said the protest will seek a Government Resolution for Marathas to claim OBC quota benefits based on Kunbi records, a demand opposed by OBC groups.
- On Saturday, activist Manoj Jarange announced an indefinite hunger strike at Azad Maidan in Mumbai beginning September 19, demanding reservation for the Maratha community in jobs and education.
- Jarange demands a Government Resolution allowing Marathas to claim reservations available to the Kunbi community, though OBC groups vehemently oppose the move, fearing their share of benefits will be affected.
- Starting September 15, protesters will march toward Mumbai, covering around 100 kilometres daily, while Jarange emphasized that agitation must remain peaceful and follow democratic means.
- The Bombay High Court on Friday refused to pass an urgent order stopping the protest, while Jarange warned Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis against creating hurdles for the march.
- This stir coincides with Ganpati festivities running from September 14 to 25, echoing last year's August-September protests that brought parts of the city to a standstill.
