Swadhyay Parivar rift in the open: trustee attacked
Express News Service
Vadodara, December 26: Internal dissension in the Swadhyaya Parivar established by the late Pandurang Shastri took a violent turn on Thursday, when 50-odd ‘Swadhayayees’ tried to assault former trustee Mahesh Shah in Vadodara.
Though Shah escaped unhurt, his employee Satish Patel, who is also president of BJP’s Waghodia unit, sustained injuries on his head and abdomen while trying to protect Shah. Patel is undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Jetalpur. He was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after his condition deteriorated on Friday.
Patel has lodged a criminal case pertaining to rioting and attempt to murder against 50 unidentified workers of the Swadhyaya Parivar in the Sayajigunj Police Station late on Thursday.
He said the incident took place around 6.30 pm outside Bombay Shopping Centre in Jetalpur. Shah’s office — Samson Group of Industries — is in this centre.
‘‘Shah had returned from Ahmedabad and was leaving for Harni Airport to catch a flight for Mumbai when 50-odd persons belonging to the rival faction of the Swadhyaya Parivar descended at the centre and tried to assault Shah. However, I became their target when I tried to protect him,’’ said Patel.
Shah has been most vocal against Jayshree Talwakar, who now heads the organisation after the death of its founder Pandurang Shastri. Shah was kicked out from the board of trustees soon after Talwalkar assumed the top post.
