Amid the tensions between Congress and BJP workers in Ahmedabad, Rahul Gandhi is likely to visit Gujarat and meet the detained leaders.

On Gujarat Congress’ invitation, Rahul Gandhi may visit the city on July 6.

A commotion followed in Ahmedabad after Rahul Gandhi remarked on 'Hindus' on July 1.

Addressing the House, Gandhi said: “All our great men have spoken about non-violence and finishing fear…But, those who call themselves Hindu only talk about violence, hatred, untruth… Aap Hindu ho hi nahi (You are not even Hindu)…”

After this remark, the Ahmedabad office of Gujarat Pradesh Congress at Paldi was vandalised on the night of July 1 by Bajrang Dal.

Later in the day on July 2, a violent tussle between party workers of the Congress and the BJP broke out near the office in Paldi.

The Ahmedabad City Judicial Magistrate Court approved a three-day remand of Congress workers including Harsh Parmar, Vimal Pansara, Manish Thakor, Sanjay Barot, and Mukesh Dantani.
