Jarange vows to continue Maratha reservation movement despite government pressure

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Sep 28 ( UNI) Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange Patil on Monday said he would not withdraw from his agitation despite alleged pressure and inquiries targeting people associated with his movement, asserting that he would continue the fight rather than surrender to the government.
“Whatever attempts the government makes to trouble me, I will not back down. I may die, but I will not befriend you or become your slave. I would rather die fighting,” Jarange told reporters in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
His remarks came amid action in an alleged illegal sand-mining case involving Sanjay Katare, a member of Jarange’s core committee. The penalty in the case, reportedly running into crores of rupees, has been upheld, while an earlier order issued by the tehsildar was cancelled. There have also been reports that the Income Tax Department may inquire into some of Jarange’s associates.
