After Maratha Kranti Morcha hitting the streets, now Muslim community has warned of protests in September. The Muslims in Maharashtra are planning to hold silent marches from Pune starting from September 9.
According to DNA, the Muslim community will hold ‘Muslim Maha Mook Morchas’ which will seek for quotas in education, a law against mob lynching and against the Centre’s legislation against triple talaq. A Morcha core committee member told the leading daily, “The morcha for Pune city is likely to be organised on September 9. It will press for quotas for Muslims in jobs and education, a law against mob lynchings, against interference in the Shariat through legislative tools like the anti-triple talaq bill and easing permissions for constructing masjids.”
The Muslims, which comprise over 10.6% of Maharashtra’s population, is also creating an atmosphere for more protests to be held across the state. The member told the leading daily “We are deliberately holding the march in September as the state is in a flux due to the Maratha protests. We hope things will cool down by then.”
