Gandhinagar: Prabha
Taviad, the Congress member of parliament from Dahod, was forcibly
evicted from the dias during a government programme in the
presence of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at Godhra Friday.
The incident took place during the government organised Krishi
Mahotsav rally, when the tribal MP approached the chief minister
and asked him why the local Congress legislator was arrested and
prevented from attending the function.
C.K. Raolji, the local legislator, was detained along with 40
Congress workers for reportedly trying to burn an effigy of Modi.
Taviad later told reporters that the chief minister had refused to
acknowledge her presence or answer her questions.
"When I insisted on an answer, police forcibly ejected me from the
stage," she added.
Last year Taviad was prevented from attending the "Garib Kalyan
Mela" event at Kadana in Dahod district.
Leader of the opposition Shaktisinh Gohil condemned the chief
minister for the inhuman treatment of the Congress MP in his
presence.
"She was dragged off the stage while the chief minister watched
only because she had sought to question him on the brutal
treatment to congress MLAs and leaders protesting on local
issues," he said.
