5 Patel boys held for bid to protest against Ramdev

Five boys were on Thursday detained by police here for trying to protest against Ramdev over his reported remarks against the Patel quota movement, even as the Yoga guru once again denied making any statement against the community.

As Yoga guru Ramdev was scheduled to visit Swaminarayan Gurukul on SG Highway area in the city, Patel community youths, associated with the quota agitation body Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), reached the site to protest against him on Thursdayevening.
