Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 3 (ANI): A day after Manoj Jarange called off his hunger strike, Maharashtra Minister Chhagan Bhujbal on Tuesday said discussions are being held with legal advisors about the decision of the government.
"... I want to urge the protestors that we are talking to legal experts about the decision of the government... Ganeshotsav is going on, and keeping this in mind, I want to urge our leaders and party workers that we are paying attention to this matter, and discussions are being held with legal advisors. If we find anything wrong with it, we will explore the necessary legal route..." Bhujbal told reporters here.
The Maharashtra Cabinet has decided to form a six-member cabinet subcommittee for Other Backwards Classes (OBC) community issues following the Maratha reservation decision, with two ministers from each party.
This move aims to address the concerns of OBCs community issues, signalling the government's efforts to provide relief.
Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange has been pressing to include all Marathas under the Kunbi category, a sub-caste classified under the OBC category, which will help the community avail of the benefits of reservation in government jobs and education.
On Tuesday, Jarange ended his indefinite fast at Azad Maidan, in Mumbai, after accepting the Government Resolution (GR) presented by the Maharashtra cabinet sub-committee on Maratha quota, as he broke down in tears, calling it a "Diwali" for the community.
Earlier, the Bombay High Court adjourned the Maratha quota matter, stating that it expects some development by then. (ANI)
