Sambhajiraje to Undertake Token Fast over Sarathi Issue
Rajya Sabha member Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati on Thursday announced a "token fast" in Pune on January 11 to protest the Maharashtra government's apathetic attitude towards the `Sarathi' organisation.
Mumbai, Jan 9 (PTI) Rajya Sabha member Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati on Thursday announced a "token fast" in Pune on January 11 to protest the Maharashtra government's apathetic attitude towards the `Sarathi' organisation.
The new Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government seemed to be planning to close it down, he alleged here.
"Saarathi organisation was meant for helping the Maratha community and I was the chief guest at its inauguration.
"But the new government in Maharashtra seems to be planning to close it down. So I have decided to sit on a token fast on January 11. I and my associates will sit in front of Sarathi's office itself," he said.
During his meeting with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray a few weeks ago, the latter had promised to find a way out, he said.
"It seems some government officials want to end Sarathi's autonomy," he alleged.
