Patidar groups call for Gujarat bandh
Two Patidar groups in Gujarat – Sardar Patel Group (SPG) and Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) – have called for a state-wide bandh. The groups seeking reservation for the community also started a "Jail Bharo Andolan" demanding the immediate release of their jailed leaders including Hardik Patel. This comes after the curfew was lifted in the Patidar-dominated Mehsana district.
