Saffron wave to hit Mumbai on Sep 15: Manoj Jarange

Jalna, Sep 12 (UNI) Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange today announced that he will march towards Mumbai and launch an indefinite hunger strike at Azad Maidan on September 15, while appealing to supporters to maintain peace and discipline during the protest.
Addressing his supporters, he urged the government, particularly Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis, not to erect barricades to stop the protesters. He questioned the need to obstruct a peaceful democratic movement and asked whether the government wanted to create instability in the state.
Jarange said he had given his word that the agitation would remain peaceful and appealed to protesters not to violate that commitment. At the same time, he warned that if blood was shed during the agitation, the people of Maharashtra should respond by observing a statewide shutdown.
