Ahmedabad: In a dramatic political move ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two-day visit to Gujarat, several senior Congress leaders were placed under house arrest by the Ahmedabad police to prevent
them from staging black flag protests.
Congress had planned demonstrations against the government over crumbling roads, waterlogging, and alleged “vote chori” (electoral malpractice), but the crackdown came even before the protest began. Leaders including Gujarat Congress spokesperson Nagji Desai, Ahmedabad City Congress President Sonalben Patel, Vice President Amit Nayak, SC Cell Chairman Hitendra Peethadia, and State Spokesperson Hemang Rawal were among those detained from Naroda, Nikol, and nearby areas.
