Shiv Sena UBT Leader Sanjay Raut On Meeting Held Between CM Eknath Shinde & NCP (SP) Chief Sharad Pawar

Reacting to the meeting held between Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar, Sanjay Raut said that he cannot comment on the meeting between both leaders.

“I can’t say that Pawar Saheb’s meeting with him (CM) happened for Dharavi but Shivsena’s stand is very clear about Dharavi. It’s 600 Acres of land. There are 8 lakh people residing there and they all should get flashing rehabilitation schemes without any conditions. They should be rehabilitated at the same place,” he said.

On August 3, Sharad Pawar met Maharashtra CM Shinde at Varsha Bungalow and discussed the issues of the Maratha reservation, amongst others.

He further asserted that after forming the government in Maharashtra they would cancel the tender of Dharavi redevelopment.

“If our government comes to power, we will cancel that tender of the Dharavi redevelopment. Uddhav ji has made that clear already,” he said.

Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRPPL), a joint venture between the Adani Group and the Government of Maharashtra, announced that eligible residential tenements in Dharavi will get flats with independent kitchens and toilets measuring a minimum 350 square feet (sq ft), which is a whopping 17 per cent more and the highest among slum redevelopment projects in Mumbai.

*Bombay High Court Directs Maratha Reservation Protestors to Vacate Site by 3 PM*

Published

on

Mumbai, October 25, 2023 — In a significant development regarding the ongoing Maratha reservation agitation, the Bombay High Court issued directives today, instructing protestors to vacate the agitation site by 3 PM. The court’s ruling comes in the wake of increasing tensions and disruptions caused by the protests, which have been demanding the restoration of reservations for the Maratha community in government jobs and educational institutions.

The protests began several weeks ago, with thousands of Maratha activists rallying across Maharashtra to voice their demands. The community argues that the lack of reservation has hindered their access to opportunities in public sector employment and education. The Maratha community, which constitutes a substantial demographic in the state, has long been at the forefront of political discussions regarding social justice and affirmative action.

During the proceedings, the bench emphasized the need for maintaining public order and ensuring that the rights of other citizens are not infringed upon. It called for a peaceful resolution to the situation, urging protestors to consider the implications of their continued presence at the site.

“While we understand the significance of the movement, it is imperative to balance the right to protest with the rights of other citizens,” the court stated. The judges underscored that the authorities would provide assistance to ensure a smooth transition and safe evacuation from the protest site.

Following the court’s ruling, leaders of the Maratha community expressed disappointment but reiterated their commitment to the cause. “We respect the judiciary, but we will continue to fight for our rights and the rightful reservation we believe we deserve,” said a prominent leader. Plans for future demonstrations and strategies are already in the discussion among community leaders.

As the deadline approaches, law enforcement agencies are on high alert, ready to intervene if necessary. Many citizens have expressed their concerns about the prolonged protests, hoping for a resolution that benefits both the Maratha community and the state as a whole.

The Maratha reservation issue remains a contentious topic, and it is expected that discussions will continue both in the courts and in public forums in the coming days. Community leaders confirmed that they are exploring all legal avenues to achieve their goals while adhering to the court’s directives.

As the clock ticks toward the 3 PM deadline, the state observes with bated breath, hoping for a harmonious outcome to this pivotal chapter in Maharashtra’s socio-political landscape.
