Summary:
Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader Hardik Patel on Monday compared the police brutality on protesters participating in his quota stir at GMDC Ground in 2015 with that of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The PAAS leader said around 15,000-16,000 police personnel arrived at the GMDC ground post 8 pm when there were only 1,500-2,000 protesters. He said the incident was similar to the Jallianwala Bagh incident in modern-independent India. After switching off the lights, the police personnel started lathi-charging the crowd that resulted in a chaos. The police's action provoked Patidars across the state to take the law into their hands after Hardik's detention..
