In subsequent days, five more live bombs were found inside the maidan during search operation by Patna police and CRPF.
The historic Gandhi Maidan where Narendra Modi addressed “Hoonkar rally” has seen several important rallies in the past, including that of Jaiprakash Narayan, Subhash Chandra Bose and Pakistan founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
Director of Gandhi Sangrahlay Razi Ahmed, who has authored a book “Tragedy of Indian Sub-continent: Power, communalism and partition”, quoting from his book has said that Mohammad Ali Jinnah had chosen the same Gandhi Maidan to revive his fledgling Muslim League in 1938.
