The Justice (retd.) Sandeep Shinde Committee arrange by the Maharashtra authorities to expedite the method of granting reservation to the Marathas submitted its second and closing report back to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday.
The Shinde committee, which was established on September 7 to resolve the methodology to subject different backward class (OBC) certificates to Marathas and discover proof to determine Marathas as Kunbi OBCs, introduced its report back to CM Shinde and Deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar in Nagpur the place the winter session of the State legislature is at present on.
The report is prone to be tabled within the Home on Tuesday. The primary report of the Shinde Committee, operating to 13 pages, was submitted to the federal government on October 31.
“Now, the second has been submitted to us. I thank Justice Shinde and his staff for [their] devoted efforts relating to the Maratha reservation subject and find Nizam-era proofs exhibiting Marathas as Kunbi OBC within the Marathwada area and elsewhere throughout Maharashtra. We’ll act on this after an in depth presentation on this report,” the Chief Minister mentioned.
In the meantime, Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil, whose starvation strikes compelled the federal government to represent the Justice Shinde committee, mentioned the CM shouldn’t delay any longer the method of granting a quota to the Marathas.
“The Maratha neighborhood is satisfied that CM Shinde will stay true to his phrase and provides reservation by December 24. If he and the Deputy CMs don’t do that, they are going to fall flat on their guarantees,” mentioned Mr. Jarange-Patil, who had earlier warned he wouldn’t lengthen his deadline for the federal government to grant a quota.
Mr. Jarange-Patil had been demanding that every one Marathas be included within the Different Backward Courses (OBC) class by being given Kunbi OBC certificates — a requirement that has provoked a backlash from a piece of OBC leaders led by Minister Chhagan Bhujbal, who’ve protested in opposition to the Marathas making an attempt to eat into the OBC reservation pie.
Regardless of Jarange-Patil remaining adamant on his calls for, BJP Minister Girish Mahajan on Monday reiterated that there was “no regulation below which blanket reservation for the Marathas” might be granted.
“If we’re giving a quota for the neighborhood, then it have to be a foolproof one. If we do that course of in a haphazard method, then it is not going to stand scrutiny in courts and be scrapped instantly. I’ve been telling this to Jarange-Patil again and again,” he famous.
