TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ A man was detained by the police for throwing bangles at Union minister Smriti Irani while she was addressing a function at Amreli town in Gujarat.
The incident happened in the evening when the Union textile minister was addressing a gathering as part of the celebrations of the completion of three years of the Narendra Modi government, said Amreli Superintendent of Police (SP) Jagdish Patel.”
As the minister was addressing the crowd, Kaswala, who was sitting far from the dais, suddenly got up and threw two or three bangles towards the stage and shouted ‘Vande Mataram’. Due to the distance, the bangles did not reach the stage and the policemen quickly took him away,” he said.
Irani blamed the Congress saying, “Ek purush ko bheja hai mahila par aakraman karne ke liye; Congress ki yeh strategy thodi galat hai. A man has been sent to attack a woman; this strategy of the Congress is a little wrong. She said Gujarat was heading for elections and this kind of behaviour was expected.
