Maratha quota stir: Days after cops deny him protest permission, defiant Jarange leaves for Mumbai
Manoj Jarange, a figure in the Maratha quota agitation, travelled to Mumbai after Mumbai police refused his request to stage a protest at Azad Maidan, citing law‑and‑order concerns amid the ongoing Ganesh festival. The denial came days earlier, with authorities warning that gatherings could disrupt festivities and strain security resources. Despite the refusal, Jarange remains defiant and plans to continue his campaign from the city.
