Urges Centre to take prompt actions and make changes in the Constitution
Even as Maharashtra is fighting against the Covid pandemic, the Supreme Court decision to reject the State Government’s decision on the Maratha community reservation is unfortunate for the hard-working warrior community in the State, said the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday in a media statement.
He was reacting to a Supreme Court decision that declared a Maharashtra Government law that provides reservation benefits to the Maratha community as unconstitutional.
Thackeray said that the State Government had decided to give reservation only to protect the self-esteem of the Maratha community. The Supreme Court has now overturned that decision, which was taken unanimously by all political parties in the Maharashtra Legislature.
