Rahul Gandhi to visit Ahmedabad on July 6
The HinduLeader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to visit Ahmedabad in Gujarat on Saturday to meet the Congress workers who were arrested by the police after clashes with the BJP workers earlier this week. His visit comes in the wake of clashes between the BJP and Congress workers outside the Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee office here on July 2 over his remarks in the Lok Sabha that “the BJP and Modi do not represent the entire Hindu community” and that “Hindus are never violent”. Talking to reporters on Friday, Gujarat Congress president Shaktisinh Gohil said Mr. Gandhi will also meet the family members of the five arrested Congress workers. The clashes broke out between members of the Congress and the BJP outside the Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, the Congress’s State headquarters in Paldi area of the city on July 2 after the BJP’s youth wing members came there to protest against Mr. Gandhi’s remarks in the Lok Sabha.
