Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray Tuesday asked the Centre to resolve the issue of Maratha reservation by calling a special session of Parliament. He said all Union ministers from Maharashtra should raise the reservation issue in the cabinet meeting.

Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, he also urged the Union ministers to resign if the (Maratha reservation) demand is not met. "This issue should be addressed by the Centre. This can only be resolved in the Lok Sabha. I have been saying this and I say this again that the government should call a special session of Parliament (to resolve the issue)," Thackeray said. "Even if a special session of the state legislature is required it should be convened," he added.
