NAGPUR: After comparing the Jamia Millia Islamia police action on students protesting against the CAA to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919 earlier this week, Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday came up with a new description for Belagavi and its surrounding Marathi speaking parts, calling the area “Karnataka occupied-Maharashtra”.Borrowing from the term Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, Thackeray asked the BJP to help fulfil the aspirations of the Marathi people who found themselves on the Karnataka side of the border after the reorganisation of states on the basis of language in the 1950s.Speaking in the assembly on governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari ’s speech during the winter session of the legislature in the second capital of the state,Thackeray attacked the BJP on CAA, saying that when its government at the Centre and the state had failed to give justice to Hindus in the country, how could it ensure justice for those living in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.“Your party has now taken over the reins in Karnataka under B S Yediyurappa but still the atrocities on Marathi-speaking brethren continue in those areas,” he said. “When the case is being heard in the SC, the BJP-led government has backed Karnataka on the issue, which is very unfortunate. We should come together to liberate Karnataka occupied-Maharashtra.”
