CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange Patil has alleged that a conspiracy was being planned to kill him during his proposed march in Mumbai, intensifying tensions surrounding the ongoing quota agitation.
Jarange’s allegation came amid uncertainty over the planned protest at Azad Maidan, where permission for the gathering has reportedly been denied by authorities. The activist has continued to press for Maratha reservation demands and has called for supporters to participate in the Mumbai mobilisation.
The latest development has added a security dimension to the protest, with Jarange raising concerns about his safety during the march. His allegation, however, remains a claim and would require verification by investigating authorities.
The Maratha reservation issue has remained a politically sensitive matter in Maharashtra, with Jarange leading repeated protests and hunger strikes demanding action on the community’s reservation-related demands.
The denial of permission for the Azad Maidan gathering could further complicate the planned mobilisation. Authorities are expected to assess the situation from the perspective of public order and crowd management.
The developments have placed the Maharashtra government under renewed political pressure, while Jarange’s supporters are closely watching the administration’s next steps. Further details regarding the alleged threat and the protest arrangements are expected as the situation develops.
