Manoj Jarange refuses to end hunger strike, warns of Mumbai protest from September 12
Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange on Thursday refused to call off his indefinite hunger strike and warned that he would move his protest to Mumbai on September 12 if his demands were not implemented by September 11.
Jarange has been on hunger strike at Antarwali Sarati village in Maharashtra’s Jalna district for the past week, seeking reservation for the Maratha community.
A delegation of Maharashtra ministers and legislators, Ministers Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil and Uday Samant, MLC Prasad Lad and MLA Makarand Patil met Jarange on Thursday in an attempt to persuade him to end his fast.
