Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange said on Thursday that their rally to Mumbai would remain peaceful, but emphasized that they wouldn't return from the state capital without securing reservation for the community.

"We are now left with one last stop, which is at Vashi. After Vashi, we will go towards Mumbai peacefully, but we will not come back without reservation. From today on, our number will increase and all the Maratha people from all over Maharashtra will gather in Mumbai. The people of Mumbai are also with us," Patil said according to a report in ANI.
