Quota stir leader Hardik Patel detained in Surat

September 19, 2015 09:29

Hardik Patel, the leader of the quota agitation, is detained in Surat, as he tries to take out a march to press for reservations for the Patel community.

Patel was scheduled to hold an Ekta Yatra from Surat today. Over seventy protesters are detained with him and are moved to the Varachha police station.

The Gujarat government yesterday once again denied permission to Patel to hold the rally. However, he remained adamant to go ahead with the planned protest.

In past two weeks, Patel had announced to go on a 'reverse Dandi March' twice, but cancelled the plan after the district administration denied permission.
