Issue Regarding Maratha Reservation. on 24 July, 2018
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Issue regarding Maratha reservation.
SHRI ASHOK SHANKARRAO CHAVAN (NANDED): Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to raise the issue of Maratha reservation, which has been going on in Maharashtra for the last more than four years. … (Interruptions) In spite of the peaceful agitations, which have been taking place in Maharashtra, the Government of Maharashtra has not done anything. … (Interruptions) They are only giving false assurances that the Maratha community will be included into the OBC category. This has become a serious law and order problem today. Yesterday, Mr. Kakasaheb Shinde has committed Jal Samidhi in Aurangabad. Our colleague, Shri Chandrakant Khaire, was also manhandled in Aurangabad yesterday. The Chief Minister also could not perform the regular pooja at Pandharpur. So, this has become a very serious issue.
We urge upon the Government to immediately intervene in this issue and resolve the issue as early as possible.
HON. DEPUTY-SPEAKER:
Shri Rajeev Satav is permitted to associate with the issue raised by Shri Ashok Shankarrao Chavan.
