Gujarat tense again after Patidar agitation turned violent
A 'jail bharo' programme by agitating Patidar (Patel) leaders turned violent on Sunday, forcing the authorities to clamp curfew and deploy the Border Security Force (BSF) in Gujarat's northern town of Mehsana. Unruly mobs attacked the camp offices of Minister of State for Home Rajni Patel and Health Minister Nitin Patel, who is also the head of the committee of seven ministers constituted by Chief Minister Anandiben Patel to hold talks with the two Patidar outfits -- Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) and Sardar Patel Group (SPG).
