Mumbai (Paigam-e-Jagat)- Shiv Sena MP Vinayak Raut has written a letter to President Draupadi Murmu seeking time to meet her. They have demanded to convene a special session of Parliament to discuss the issue of reservation for Maratha and Dhangar communities. This letter was written on October 31.
The letter states that an 11-member delegation led by Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut wants to meet the President on November 5 or 6. In fact, the Marathas are demanding reservation in government jobs and education under the OBC category, while the Dhangar community wants Scheduled Tribe status.
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said that a special session of Parliament has been demanded and this issue should be resolved by the Centre. He said that all the Union Ministers of Maharashtra should raise the issue of reservation in the Cabinet meeting. Thackeray also appealed to the Union ministers to resign if the demand for Maratha reservation was not met.
