Gujarat’s Minister of State for Home Pradipsinh Jadeja has said around 20 Congress leaders, along with some social workers, have been identified for instigating violent attacks on migrant workers from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in the State.
He accused the Opposition party of orchestrating violence to defame the BJP government ahead of the Assembly elections.
The police have arrested 533 people, based on 61 cases, for over 75 incidents of attacks on Hindi-speaking workers following the rape last week of an infant, allegedly by a migrant worker from Bihar, in Sabarkantha district of Gujarat.
