Jarange Patil warns of statewide shutdown if Maratha protesters are harmed
Manoj Jarange Patil warns Maharashtra will shut down in 10 minutes if Maratha protesters are harmed, urging silent, non-aggressive protest.
Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil has issued a stark warning that Maharashtra would come to a standstill within ten minutes if any harm were to befall Maratha protesters. The statement adds a fresh layer of urgency to the ongoing agitation for reservation.
In his appeal, Jarange Patil urged members of the Maratha community to maintain restraint and avoid any aggressive action towards police personnel. He called for protests to be conducted silently, underscoring the need for discipline during demonstrations.
Addressing women of the community specifically, the activist appealed to them to regard all sons and daughters of the Maratha community as their own and act with that sense of collective responsibility. The remark appears aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of younger participants in the movement.
The warning comes amid heightened tension surrounding the Maratha reservation demand, with the activist's words likely to influence the tenor of protests in the coming days.
