Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange, on Friday, opined that the community should continue their agitation using resources permitted by law and not by “pelting stones”, said a PTI report. The Maratha community has been demanding reservations in government jobs and educational institutions. Jarange, whose hunger strike entered its 11^th day today, urged the Maharashtra government to drop the clause of genealogy while issuing Kunbi caste certificates to Marathas from the Marathwada region to avail of benefits under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category.

He was quoted in a PTI report saying, “We are fighting for Maratha reservation and we will get it. The agitations that are taking place across the state should go on, and the agitators should work towards raising support for it.”
