Karwar: The Maratha Samaj of the District held a symbolic protest here on Wednesday December 7 and submitted a memorandum to the State Government through Additional Deputy Commissioner Raju Mogaveera demanding inclusion of Maratha Samaj in Category 2A.
There are 8 sub-groups of Maratha society in the 3B category. These Maratha sub-categories should be included in the 2A category. Immediate action should be taken in this regard. Otherwise, there will be a fierce struggle, warned Kshatriya Maratha Samaj District President Kumar Bobate.
After making an appeal to the Government, he addressed community leaders and protesters and said, “We need political leadership to get what we want. If we get political representation, we will not have to put our demands in front of anyone,” he said.
“The time has come for Marathas to unite culturally and politically,” he said. “Let’s get ready for the fight. Today is the first step,” he asserted.
