Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 27 : Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Friday said that without hurting the quota of SC, ST, and OBC, Maratha community should get reservation.
He also said that Gunaratna Sadavarte should not oppose Maratha reservation.
Advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte was attacked by three people.
"Gunaratna Sadavarte should not oppose the Maratha reservation because it does not mean that everyone in the Maratha society will get the reservation," he said.
Earlier, three people who had been arrested for their role in the attack on Anti-reservation advocate Gunaratna Sadarvarte's car were sent to judicial custody and later granted bail by the Mazgaon Magistrate court.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange Patil once again started a hunger strike in Jalna, after the purported deadline of 40 days given to the state government to announce the reservation expired.
Jarange Patil said that this time the community would intensify its protest and hold chain hunger strikes and candle marches till their demand is fulfilled.
The Maratha community has been protesting for the community's inclusion on the OBC list in the state.
