Maratha community should cooperate.

The process of issuing a Government Resolution about the Hyderabad Gazette and Sagesoyre is in progress. He said Kunbi certificates are now available due to the appointment of the Shinde committee by the Government. “The Government intends to make a reservation for the Maratha community. There will be efforts to give reservation to the community without touching reservation of any other category. Shinde committee and other committees are also working on this. The community will not be misled since the Government will work to provide reservation within the framework of the law. Therefore, the Maratha community should also support the government,” he said.
