Ahmedabad: She is the daughter of a ‘martyred’ BSF jawan who died in the line of duty.
On Friday, Rupal Tadvi, a 26-year-old tribal woman, rushed to meet Gujarat Chief Minister while he was addressing a rally at Kevadia Colony in the Narmada. However, before she could have reached the CM, she was taken away by woman police officials.
According to local police, the woman has been protesting for last several years alleging that the government did not allot her family the piece of land that they had promised to, after the demise of her father Ashok Tadvi.
As Rupani was addressing the public, she ran towards his stage, shouting, “I want to meet him, I want to meet him.” The woman police officials took her away.
Seeing this, Rupani announced from the stage that he will meet her after the programme.
As per reports, the Chief Minister left for his destination without meeting the woman.
According to the local police, Tadvi and her family members had tried to breach the security cover around the chief minister several times in the past.
“The family claims that the land promised by the government after the death of Ashok Tadvi has not been allotted. They have been protesting for long and we have to keep an eye on them,” a police officer said.
A video of the purported incident, showing Rupal Tadvi struggling to escape while being taken away by the police, went viral.
Taking a shot at the ruling BJP government, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi posted the video of the incident on Twitter with a caption, “BJP’s arrogance at its peak.”
When Rupal Tadvi is seen being taken away in the video, Rupani is purportedly heard slamming Gandhi in his speech.
Gandhi, who tweeted in Hindi, alleged that Rupani, whom he called a “param deshbhakt”, has shamed humanity by “throwing away a martyr’s daughter”.
“Patriot Rupani ji made throw out the daughter of a martyr and has shamed humanity. The family got hollow promises instead of justice for 15 years,” he said.
