Sule visited Azad Maidan, where quota leader Manoj Jarange has been observing a hunger strike since Friday

While returning, Maratha protesters blocked Sule's car and raised slogans against former Union minister Sharad Pawar

"Nobody is opposing the reservation for the Maratha community. The cabinet should take a decision," the NCP (SP) working president told reporters

She said Jarange was feeling drowsy due to fasting

The Baramati MP stated that demonstrators demanded improved lighting and sanitation arrangements at Azad Maidan

"The leaders who accused Sharad Pawar of not taking any decision for Marathas were in power for several years in the Congress-NCP government," she said, in a veiled swipe at Deputy CM and her cousin Ajit Pawar
