MUMBAI: A Shiv Sena (UBT) delegation led by MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday met President Droupadi Murmu over the ongoing protests over the Maratha and Dhangar community’s demands for reservations, seeking an all inclusive reservation policy.
Raut said the Sena (UBT) has requested the President to direct the centre to amend the constitution in the upcoming winter session of Parliament or by calling a special session and increase the reservation beyond the current 50% cap. Apart from Raut, Sena (UBT) MP Vinayak Raut, MP Arvind Sawant legislators Anil Parab, Ambadas Danve, Ajay Chaudhary and Sunil Prabhu among other leaders were part of the delegation. Raut said that the issue of Martha reservation can’t be solved by the state government and it was up to the centre to resolve it.
