‘No water, no treatment’: Jarange-Patil escalates fight for Maratha reservation
He also refused medical examinations and barred doctors from assessing his condition, despite growing concerns over his health
In the eighth day of his indefinite hunger strike, Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange Patil has taken his protest to new heights by refusing water, intravenous fluids and medical treatment. He continues to demand that the Maharashtra government fulfill the community's pending demands. Jarange is confident that this time, the outcome will be different, emphasizing his commitment to securing reservation for the Marathas.
On the seventh day of the strike, he made his stand clear, stating, “This time, the outcome will be different. I am telling you honestly, even now... I want to secure reservation for the Marathas. You should not attack the core of Marathas like this. You should give Marathas what is rightfully theirs.”
