I request our Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to open his mouth and stop staying silent to save his chair.  It's our last chance to save Mhadei.  Requesting all our politicians to unite in solidarity and fight for our rights. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi should resolve this key issue as soon as possible.
