About Rahul Gandhi's Gujarat visit
Gujarat Congress president Shaktisinh Gohil confirmed Gandhi's itinerary, stating, "Rahul Gandhi will arrive at the GPCC office around 12.30 pm. He will address party workers and meet the kin of the victims who lost their lives in the Rajkot game zone fire and other such tragedies."
Significantly, it is pertinent to note that the Rahul Gandhi during his visit to Gujarat will also meet with families of the five Congress workers who have been arrested after a clash broke out between BJP and Congress workers outside the Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) office. The confrontation, sparked by alleged anti-Hindu remarks made by Gandhi in the Lok Sabha, led to stone pelting and injuries to five policemen, including an Assistant Commissioner of Police.
Moreover, the visiuals from the incident site which has gone viral showed party workers from both sides thrashing each other outside Congress’ Gujarat headquarters, Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan. Some individuals were also seen throwing stones at each other, even as police attempted to intervene.
