Ahmedabad, 18 September, 2011

Police had to use lathis to control the crowds trying to enter Gujarat University Exhibition hall without queue. The crowd of few hundred people gathered outside the gate of the hall wanted to entre without forming queue, but police asked them to form queue because passing through metal detector, security scruitiny and frisking was absolutely necessary for security reasons.

When people didn’t obey police’s request and tried to enter forcefully, police had to control them using lathis.

According to primary details arriving, one police constable and one police sub inspector were injured in this incident.

People broke the glasses of main door of the hall.

On Narendra Modi’s instruction, Gujarat BJP President Shri Purushottam Rupala announced from mike that people present in the hall should leave the place to allow ten times more people gathered outside to entere inside.

Meanwhile central BJP leader Shri Rajivpratap Ruddy said that today’s rush was people’s reaction to Aaj Tak TV channel’s yesterday’s one-sided and pervert reporting that tried to make a point that many chairs on the back side of the hall were empty and Modi’s fast had no response.
