Clash in Ahmedabad Over Malala Yousafzai Book Sparks Protests and Police Action
In Ahmedabad, Bajrang Dal activists opposed the reading of Malala Yousafzai's book by a civil society group and political leaders after a local school withdrew the book from its curriculum due to concerns over Yousafzai's stance on Kashmir. The activists confronted and assaulted participants at a public reading event, leading to police intervention. The incident reflects tensions between groups opposing and supporting the book's inclusion, with political figures demanding its reinstatement while Bajrang Dal labels it as promoting an anti-India narrative.
