Maratha activists confronted Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray at his hotel in Dharashiv on Monday. The activists sought clarification on Thackeray's comments about someone being used as a proxy to provoke leaders of the Maratha quota agitation.

During an interview with ABP Majha, an activist explained that they wanted to peacefully question Thackeray about his statements and his party's stance on Maratha reservation. Thackeray invited the protesters to speak with him, but his perceived disrespectful tone led them to initially refuse the interaction.

Later, Thackeray engaged with the activists in his room, discussing the potential irrelevance of reservations if he came to power, and criticized other political parties for exploiting caste politics for electoral gain.
