‘Govt Trying To Fool Marathas’: Jarange Patil Set To Embark On Protest March To Mumbai On Jan 20

Published

Maratha quota agitation spearhead Manoj Jarange on Thursday accused the Maharashtra government of trying to fool the Marathas, but asserted that his community would not fall into any trap. 

Jarange also said that he and the members of the Maratha community would embark on their protest march to Mumbai on January 20 as decided earlier since no way out has been found by the government so far on the reservation issue.

He reiterated that the government should issue Kunbi caste certificates to 54 lakh Marathas immediately.

“The government comes to us just 2-3 days before every agitation. They are trying to trap and fool the Maratha community. But the Marathas will not fall into any trap and we will go to Mumbai on January 20 as decided earlier since no way out has been found as of now,” he told reporters.

“We will go to Mumbai with the Maratha community members to press for our quota demand,” he said.

Some ministers are trying to hatch conspiracy: Patil

The government and some ministers of trying to hatch a conspiracy against the Maratha agitation, Jarange alleged. 

“Every time, just a couple of days before the agitation is to start, the government reaches out to us offering some solution. But what do they do during the period given to them? Same talks have been going on for the last seven months. This time, the government and some ministers are trying to hatch a conspiracy against the agitation. But Marathas won’t let it happen,” he said.

He demanded that the government give Kunbi caste certificates to Marathas based on the evidence in the next two days, which should also be given to the relatives of these beneficiaries. 

“If they do it in the next two days, we will go to Mumbai to congratulate the government,” he added.

Warning for Maha govt

He warned the government saying it should avoid what it did in Antarwali Sarati, his native village in Jalna district. 

Violence had broken out at Antarwali Sarati on September 1 last year after protesters allegedly refused to let authorities shift Jarange, who was on a hunger strike for the Maratha quota demand, to a hospital. The police baton-charged and lobbed tear gas shells to disperse a violent mob. Several persons, including 40 police personnel, were injured and more than 15 state transport buses set ablaze in the violence.

“Nationwide agitation if reservation is not given”

Jarange said, “If reservation is not given, the agitation will be made nationwide. People from Madhya Pradesh and other states are saying they want to take part in the agitation on 20 January.” The government claims that the documentary proof of Marathas being Kunbis was not found on a large scale, he said. 

“So what are the officials and the government doing?…Why do we need such officials?” he asked.

Meanwhile, a special drive to hand over the Kunbi caste certificates has been undertaken in 15 villages of Latur district in Maharashtra, where the evidence was found, an official said. 

“The drive is being implemented in the villages where the evidence is found. We have made available the list of documents they have to submit to obtain the certificates,” an official of Latur district administration told reporters.

Mumbai: Mumbai The controversy over loudspeakers of Mumbai mosques has now intensified. BJP leader Kret Soumya is adamant on action against mosques in Mumbai, after which the Mumbai Police also issued a restraining order notice to Kret Soumya. But despite all this, Kret Soumya visited the Bhandup police and not only demanded action against loudspeakers, but the police, under Kret Soumya’s pressure, took action against loudspeakers of four mosques in Malind. In addition, an illegal mosque was located in Jala Ram Market. Action was taken against it. So far, 11 loudspeakers have been removed. All these loudspeakers were on the mosque within the limits of the Bhandup police station. This information was given by Kret Soumya.
Bhandup police had issued a notice under Section 168 to Kreet Soumya to maintain law and order, asking him not to visit the Muslim settlements of Bhandup Khandipara during his visit on April 19, as this could pose a threat to law and order and also create traffic problems. Along with this, the police had also issued an order for action under Section 223 for violating the notice, despite which Kreet Soumya appeared at the Bhandup police station.
Kreet Soumya’s incitement against mosques is at its peak, and Kreet Soumya’s campaign in Mumbai city is also threatening law and order and communal harmony, while Kreet Soumya has also warned of intensifying this campaign, which continues to pose a law and order problem in Mumbai city. Kret Soumya’s campaign against mosques has also raised fears of communal tension, while the police have now started the process of sending notices to Kret Soumya for visiting Muslim-majority areas. However, despite this, Kret Soumya tries to pressure police officers by going to the relevant police station, while the police have banned Kret Soumya from entering mosques and other religious places in Muslim-majority areas. This is the first time this action has been taken against Kret Soumya in Bhandup.

Demolition action on Jain temple in Vile Parle is unfair -: Abu Asim Azmi

Published

Mumbai: On the demolition of the Jain temple in Mumbai’s Vile Parle, Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and Worker’s Assembly termed it as injustice by BMC and said that there is a need to formulate a separate law for religious places because in such a situation there is a risk of deterioration of the environment. He said that the legal stage needs to be completed before taking action on mosques, temples and religious places. The 90-year-old Jain temple was demolished by BMC even before the court’s decision.
This stage was under hearing before the action on the Jain temple, but the BMC has taken this action in a hurry. Before the Jain temple that was demolished, the documents related to the temple and the decision were received. The BMC did not show patience even until the temple was demolished. He said that the BMC takes more swift action on the demolition of religious places instead of demolishing illegal encroachments. He said that the order not to take action on structures and religious places built before 1995 was given by Chief Minister Manohar Joshi. He said that action is needed against such officers who promote illegal constructions and along with action against them, fines should also be collected from them for the demolition of illegal structures.
