Gujarat Violence Quota Issues

Hardik Patel, the 24-year-old Patidar leader who is leading a campaign against the BJP, says he is ready to surrender if the police want to arrest him but stressed that the agitation he is leading would continue even he was put behind bars.

Hardik Patel, leader of the Patel quota agitation in Gujarat, today said he will start meeting legislators of his community soon to know where they stand on the reservation issue, which sparked violence across the state claiming ten lives last week.

The Gujarat High Court today said that an impartial probe by the CID in the death of 32-year-old Shwetang Patel will go a long way in "restoring" the confidence of people in the "fairness and objectivity" of the Gujarat Police.

The Gujarat CID is expected to submit a progress report to the High Court today on the death of 32-year-old Shwetang Patel, whose family alleges he died in police custody last Tuesday in Ahmedabad, as violence gripped the city after the brief detention of politician Hardik Patel.

In his first reaction on the recent Gujarat violence over the quota issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the incidents, which claimed at least ten lives, had upset the entire nation.
