Manoj Jarange Alleges ‘Conspiracy’ to ‘Kill Him’ Amid Maratha Quota Stir, Says ‘Will Accept Death but Not Surrender’
- On Sunday, Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil announced he will leave his native Antarwali Sarati to march towards Mumbai, planning an indefinite hunger strike at Azad Maidan starting September 19.
- Jarange-Patil has been on an indefinite hunger strike since August 29, demanding the issuance of Kunbi certificates to Marathas based on 5.8 million records, alleging the Maharashtra government failed to honor previous assurances.
- Supporters will travel roughly 100 kilometers daily through Western Maharashtra, with stops in Patoda, Srigonda, Hadapsar, and Khopoli, as Jarange-Patil urged participants to maintain discipline and follow a designated route.
- The Bombay High Court rejected a petition to halt the march, ruling that protesting is a fundamental right, while Jarange-Patil requested Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis not to create barriers for demonstrators.
- Previous reservation attempts faced Supreme Court blocks due to a 50% constitutional ceiling on state quotas; Jarange-Patil insists on Other Backward Classes categorization, arguing separate quotas would likely be struck down by the judiciary.
