Mete said Pawar was already at the helm of affairs of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. “He has made a statement that he would look into the issue. On behalf of the Maratha community, I urge Pawar saheb to intervene in the matter and bring justice to the Maratha community,” he said.
Mete said a deadline of December 31 has been for chief minister Uddhav Thackeray to invite all Maratha leaders and explain the government’s future plan and its strategy to get the stay vacated. “We want the government to explain its stand and clear the confusion and unease in the Maratha community. We want the government to appoint some more senior counsels to fight the case. The chief minister should hold a dialogue with us before December 31 or else we will launch an aggressive agitation from January 3,” he said.
