Gujarat Presh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Amit Chavda also stated that y consider state police to also be a part of bigger political conspiracy. " Gujarat police were just standing re and enabling ABVP goons to hurt our NSUI members and students. What stopped m from carrying out ir duties? We were peacefully protesting a few meters away from ABVP office. How is that undemocratic? ABVP goons want to start a trend of violence but we want to remind m that we are in Gandhi's Gujarat," said Amit Chavda while speaking to media at site of dharna.
