Will Do Everything To Prevent Injustice Against Marathi-Speaking People: CM Eknath Shinde On Border Row

Date:

Nagpur: Amid the recent row over the border dispute between Maharashtra and Karnataka, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday told the state’s Legislative Council that the government will pursue all the land avenues to prevent injustice against Marathi-speaking people.

The statement was made a day after Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai proclaimed that his state won’t give an inch of the disputed territory to Maharashtra.

Addressing the Legislative Council Shinde said, “Karnataka should not challenge us as we will not give up an inch of the land in the 865 (disputed) villages, including Belgavi, Nipani, Karwar, Bidar, and Bhalki. We will pursue whatever legal recourse that is available to us.”

He further added that “ We will seek the intervention of the Supreme Court and the central government and do everything in our power to prevent injustice to our Marathi-speaking people.”

Earlier on Tuesday, the Maharashtra government passed a resolution to “legally pursue” the incorporation of 865 Marathi-speaking villages in Karnataka into their state.

Amid the row, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray demanded that the ‘disputed areas’ should be declared a Union Territory.

Chief minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday tabled the resolution in the Assembly on the border row.
