Maratha Activist Jarange Agrees To End Hunger Strike

Maratha activist Manoj Jarange has agreed to end his indefinite hunger strike today. His decision follows a breakthrough with the Maharashtra government on two key demands. He called it a victory for the agitators who had been protesting for four days at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan. He said their demand for Kunbi status, an OBC caste for the Maratha community, had been agreed to.
