On the heels of the Maratha Kranti Morcha and Dhangar community protests, the Muslim community in Pune spilled out in large numbers on the streets, marching silently, demanding that the 5 per cent reservation for the community be restored. Many political parties and non-Muslims, too, could be seen among the protesters.

The Muslim Muk Mahamorcha started out from Pimpri-Chinchwad and ended at Golibar Maidan and Vidhan Bhavan areas in Pune city. The agitators also carried out protests near the old District Council buildings from Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's statue to Sadhu Vasvani Chowk and ended at Vidhan Sabha area. Around 3,000 volunteers organised and took part in the morcha. No announcements were made during the protest. The protest was led by girls followed by women, senior citizens, youth and various political party activists and leaders.
