Hardik Patel Rushed To Hospital

Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti leader Hardik Patel was on Friday rushed to a hospital on the 14th day of his indefinite fast as he complained of difficulty in breathing.

He was admitted to the Government Civil Hospital in Sola two weeks after he gave up even taking water in protest against the government ignoring his demands.

He has been on fast since August 25, demanding the Gujarat government to provide reservation to Patidar committee under OBC quota, as well as asking them to waive of the loans of farmers in the state.

The doctors have stated that his health has worsened following his reluctance to end his fast.

Earlier on Friday, Hardik distanced himself from Congress and all the other political parties coming out in his support.

On Thursday, the Congress state President Amit Chavda and Paresh Dhanani rushed to his support, ordering Vijay Rupani-led BJP government to conduct talks with Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti within 24 hours.

Dhanani had gone to meet Hardik, and then he lead the delegation of Congress MLAs to meet governor OP Kohli, and gave an eight page memorandum, which had no mention of Patidar community or Hardik.
