Asaram Bapu Dhamal: From the spot to your Eyes(Video)
July 19, 2008
Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat
Here is an exclusive video of how Asaram Bapu’s sadhaks fought back and responded to Sabarmati and Motera area’s youths who earlier had pelted stones on Asaram ashram and it’s vehicles, broken and torched cars and buses of followers who were going to Asaram ashram for Guru Poornima.
Asaram’s sadhaks jumped in to the ashram’s vehicles and ran towards residential areas on Motera road with sticks in their hands and violence in their minds. However police reached at the spot in minutes and prevented Asaram Bapu’s sadhaks from going ahead on their plans of rampage. Police soon limited Asaram’s followers presence to Asaram ashram road and prevented them to go beyond that road. Asaram sadhaks also followed and obeyed this as they too wanted to do something only symbolic and quick to show their presence of strength to the opponents.
Capturing this video was high risk. Cameras could be broken, physical injuries could happen. Thanks God nothing like that happened. Only kidnapping happened( I was freed), bag with camera was taken for some minutes and mobile phone was broken so that I could not contact police. From amazing amounts of troubles this video has passed from the spot to your eyes only because of our courageous commitment for journalism.
