Community leader warns supporters to stay put as hunger strike continues

Patil appealed to his followers not to tail his vehicle from Patoda to Mumbai. He urged them to gather at the Khopoli meeting point instead, warning that any further movement could jeopardise his already fragile condition. He reminded his family that dignity must be preserved even if it costs a life, and encouraged his son to continue the struggle with courage. Patil also said that all documents are safely stored on a pen drive and that the primary objective is to obtain the official government gazette for the reservation demand.
