Police in Ahmedabad today detained Maha Gujarat Janta Party (MJP) leaders Gordhan Zadafia, Sunil Oza along with their 50 supporters who were protesting against the arrest of Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Ahmedabad unit General Secretary Ashwin Patel.

MJP’s more than 300 supporters had organised the sit-in protest at the busy traffic junction Income Tax circle without a permission from police. Police detained and later released them.

“Ashwin Patel was a person who called me from Godhra when Sabarmati Express carnage happened there. I was then Minister of state for Home at that time. It was Ashwin Patel’s phone call that informed about Godhra carnage and attack on karsevaks and the force to prevent further killings there could be mobilized immediately. Such an important Hindu activist is now arrested by Modi’s police. On the contrary a Muslim youth who threatened Modi via email some time back was called in Gandhinagar and was offered sweet by Narendra Modi in his office,” he said.

“The MJP workers would organise similar sit-ins in all districts across the state and would court arrest tomorrow,” he said. “This government is anti-Hindu and the arrest of Ashwin Patel has exposed its real face. We will support the VHP on this issue,” Zadafia said addressing his supporters.

Meanwhile in another protest program, Gujarat VHP president Dilipbhai trivedi with his more than 400 supporters hold a sit-in protest in Ahmedabad’s Ghatlodia area. Police detained 70 VHP workers for holding the agitation without permission.
