The issue of the OBC movement has again come up for discussion in Maharashtra. Let us tell you that two activists named Laxman Hek and Navnat Wajamara are on hunger strike in the village of Vadigodri in Jalana District since June 13. During this period, Manoj Jaranj, the architect of the Maratha Reserve, was accused of killing Maratha youth because of the confusion he spread. The two workers also accused Maharashtra Chief Minister Akanath Shind of ignoring the strike. The two workers are seeking an assurance from the government that the OBC quota will not be affected in view of the demand for Martha reservation.
Do not affect the OBC quota – Laxman Hek
The agitators who are on an indefinite hunger strike are protesting against Manoj Jaranj’s demand to implement this draft notification. In it, Kunbi was also recognized as ‘Rishi Suyar’ (blood relatives) of the members of the Maratha community. Let us tell you that Kunbi, an agricultural group, falls under the OBC category, and Manoj Jaranj demands that all Marathas be issued Kunbi certificates, so that they can be eligible for government jobs and quota in education.
“Comparison of Marathas with OBC Community”
During this, Laxman Hek said that the Maratha community may be economically disadvantaged, but it is not socially backward. He also said that the reservation criteria refer to those who are socially backward. During this he suggested that the Marathas continue with the government in their economic development plans. Laxman Hek claimed that Jarange is creating confusion due to which Maratha youths are committing suicide due to reservation. Jarangay equates Marathas with the OBC community. Let us tell you that the OBC workers are demanding that the ‘Rishi Soyar’ draft be cancelled.
