Maha dy speaker jumps into Mantralaya net to oppose inclusion of Dhangars in ST category
MUMBAI: High drama unfolded at Mantralaya, the state secretariat in south Mumbai Friday after some tribal leaders, including Maharashtra Maharashtra assembly Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal, jumped onto the safety net installed there over the tribal quota issue, officials said.
Nobody was injured in the incident, they said. The protesters included two MLAs and an MP from the ruling Mahayuti alliance in the state.
NCP legislators Zirwal and Kiran Lahamate and BJP's tribal MP Hemant Savara were among those who jumped from the third floor onto the safety net, that was installed in 2018 after a spate of suicide attempts at the secretariat.
