Raut was speaking on 29th March in Belgaum where he demanded that the district be declared a union territory till the courts decided on the final status of Belgaum. Raut reportedly said :
Whenever injustice is done to people in Belgaum & other border areas, its effect can be seen in all parts of Maharashtra. If the issue of Kashmir, Cauvery, Sutlej or Belgaum isn’t solved through ‘lokshahi’ (Democracy), we should opt for ‘thokshahi’ (violence)
