Maratha quota activist Jarange heads to Mumbai despite police denial

Manoj Jarange, prominent Maratha quota activist, is proceeding to Mumbai despite Mumbai Police denying him permission to hold a protest at Azad Maidan. The police cited law and order concerns during the ongoing Ganesh festival as the reason for the denial. Jarange's decision to move ahead with his plans marks a defiant stance against the police restriction.

The Maratha quota movement has been a contentious issue in Maharashtra, with Jarange emerging as a key voice demanding reservation benefits for the Maratha community. His protest plans in Mumbai signal escalation of the campaign at a high-profile venue during a major festival period.
