Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader Hardik Patel has moved the Gujarat High Court for quashing of the charges framed against him in the Surat sedition case. He has also requested the court to stay the proceedings pending in the Surat sessions court in the sedition case till his plea is decided by the high court.
Notably, the sedition charges were levelled against the firebrand leader for allegedly inciting a fellow PAAS activist to kill policemen rather than committing suicide on October 3, 2015.
