AHMEDABAD: City mayor Kiritsinh Parmar had to be taken out of Tagore Hall where the general board meeting was held in a cordon of security personnel on Friday. Congress and BJP councillors shouted slogans and rushed towards the mayor after a Congress councillor said that remdesivir and ventilator thieves should not be allowed to speak.
This led to a major uproar with the BJP demanding an apology from the Danilimda councillor, Shehzadkhan Pathan. The BJP office bearers stated that they would not allow the board meeting to continue till Pathan apologized.
This led to arguments after which the Congress councillors tore up the agenda of the meeting and rushed towards the chair of the mayor. The BJP councillors also rushed towards the mayor and he was escorted out of the hall with the help of secrity personnel. Both BJP and Congress councillors then shouted slogans against each other. The Behrampura councillor Kamla Chavda while speaking during the board meeting alleged that the BJP was raising the treatment cost at SVP Hospital, making it difficult for poor people to get treatment. She said that patients were not admitted to the hospital if they did not come in 108 ambulances.
