Maharashtra Minister Ashish Shelar on Wednesday appealed to Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange to call off his proposed protest in Mumbai during the ongoing Ganeshotsav 2026, saying a large number of devotees are travelling to Mumbai and Pune for the festival, reported the PTI.

Shelar also expressed concern over Jarange's health as his indefinite hunger strike entered its 19th day. Jarange is currently travelling towards Mumbai from Maharashtra's Jalna district.
