Mumbai: Activist Manoj Jarange, batting for Maratha reservation, ended his nine-day fast on Wednesday.
Demanding reservation to his community under the OBC category, Jarange, while speaking to his supporters at his native Antarwali Sarati village of Jalna district, said he had decided to call off the fast keeping in mind the sentiments of the Maratha community.
“We will deal with those who have hurt the Maratha community,” Jarange said.
In February this year, the Maharashtra legislature unanimously passed a bill providing 10 per cent reservation for the Marathas in education and government jobs under a separate category, but Jarange has been firm on his demand for a quota to the community under the OBC head.
