Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) chief and former Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM) Uddhav Thackeray today said that the Centre should declare ‘Karnataka-occupied Maharashtra’ areas as a Union Territory.
Speaking in the state Legislative Council, Thackarey asserted that the boundary dispute is not just a case of language and border, but of ‘humanity’. He said Marathi-speaking people have been living in the border villages from generations, adding that their daily life, language, and lifestyle is Marathi. He added that till the issue is pending before the Supreme Court, the ‘Karnataka-occupied Maharashtra’ should be declared as a Union Territory by the central government. Thackeray questioned the central government's role as the ‘guardian’ of both the states. ‘Has the central government acted as guardian. We expect the central government to act as the guardian,’ he said.
Former Maharashtra CM also said (members of) both the Houses should watch the movie ‘Case for Justice’ and read the Mahajan Commission report (on the border issue).
