'PM Modi should clarify his stand on Maharashtra-Karnataka border dispute': Uddhav Thackeray

Maharashtra-Karnataka border row dates back to 1957 when the states were being reorganised on linguistic lines. Maharashtra laid claim to Belagavi, which was part of the erstwhile Bombay Presidency, as it has a sizeable Marathi-speaking population. It also staked claim to 814 Marathi-speaking villages which are currently part of Karnataka.
