In a latest political development, the Maharashtra assembly today, December 27, unanimously passed a resolution over the border dispute with neighbouring Karnataka.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde presented the resolution condemning the administration for its anti-Marathi stand in the border area.
According to the resolution, Maharashtra government will make all necessary legal pursuits in the Supreme Court to include Belgaum, Karvar, Nipani, Bhalki, Bidar cities and 865 Marathi-speaking villages of Karnataka in Maharashtra under any circumstances.
The resolution further stated that the Central government should urge the Karnataka govt to implement the decision taken in the meeting with the Union home minister and they should be given an understanding to guarantee the safety of the Marathi people in the border areas.
It is pertinent to note that this came a day after former CM Uddhav Thackeray suggested that the contested area should be brought under central rule till the issue is resolved in the Supreme Court.
On the other hand, ahead of the start of the assembly session, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis hit out at Uddhav Thackeray for failing to find a resolution during his tenure.
For those unversed, recently Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a meeting with Chief Ministers of both the states on the border issue when he said that a six-member ministerial panel will oversee the discussions.
