Members of the Sai Janmabhoomi Pathri Sansthan said they would file a petition in the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court with evidence to prove that Sai Baba was born in Pathri. Some residents claimed that Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had retracted his statement on Pathri being Sai Baba’s birthplace under pressure from the Shirdi temple trust. MLC and president of the action committee, Babajani Durrani, said Pathri residents will move court on the issue. “We have decided to go for legal procedure to resolve this issue and won’t be meeting Mr. Thackeray. “We won’t mind if the government grant for Pathri doesn’t come but we will never give up our claim that Pathri is the birthplace of Sai Baba,” he said.
