Ahmedabad, Gujarat – Several members of the Bajrang Dal were detained in Ahmedabad on Saturday for protesting against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent remarks in Parliament. The protests erupted during Gandhi's visit to the city, prompting swift action from the Gujarat Police to maintain law and order.
Rahul Gandhi, addressing a gathering, stated his intention to defeat the BJP in Gujarat, drawing a parallel to the opposition's victory in Ayodhya. "The opposition won in Ayodhya, which means it has defeated the movement started by LK Advani in Ayodhya," Gandhi asserted. His comments sparked outrage among Bajrang Dal members, leading to the protests.
The Gujarat Police effectively managed the situation, ensuring that the protests did not escalate further. Law enforcement officials detained the protesting Bajrang Dal members, preventing any disruptions during Gandhi's visit.
Gandhi's visit to Gujarat is part of a broader campaign to strengthen the Congress party's position in the state ahead of upcoming elections. His remarks in Parliament and subsequent statements have intensified political discourse, especially with his assertion of replicating the opposition's success in Ayodhya in Gujarat.
The police presence was heightened to ensure the safety and security of both the public and the visiting dignitaries. The situation remains under control, with no reports of violence or significant disturbances.
Rahul Gandhi's comments and the ensuing protests have underscored the charged political environment in Gujarat. As the state gears up for elections, such incidents are likely to shape the narrative and strategies of the involved political parties.
