The agitation entered its fifth day on Tuesday.The government delegation led by senior minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil discussed the way forward on the reservation issue.Vikhe Patil, who heads the cabinet sub-committee on the Maratha quota, informed that a draft proposal has been prepared and was presented to Jarange Patil during the meeting.Following the talks, Jarange Patil accepted the government's key proposals, which include implementing the Hyderabad gazette for issuing Kunbi caste certificates to Marathas, taking a similar decision regarding the erstwhile Satara princely state within a month, withdrawing cases against Maratha protesters by the end of September, and compensating the families of those who lost their lives during the quota agitation.Jarange-Patil had been demanding the government to issue 'Kunbi certificates' to all Marathas, so that the entire community can be classified as OBC and then benefit from reservations.Jarange Patil said he would end his ongoing hunger strike and vacate Azad Maidan once a formal government resolution (GR) is issued.The Bombay high court on Tuesday warned of action, including exemplary cost and contempt action, if Jarange and his supporters do not vacate the place.A bench of acting chief justice Shree Chandrashekhar and justice Aarti Sathe said it wants complete normalcy restored by 3 pm, and if not, then they, too, will get on the streets.Jarange and his supporters have violated the law and hence have no right to occupy Azad Maidan without any permission, PTI news agency quoted the bench as saying.
