New Delhi: A Man on Monday threw bangles at Union Minister Smriti Irani while she was addressing a gathering at Amreli town in Gujarat for the celebrations of the completion of three years of the Narendra Modi government.
The man was identified as Ketan Kaswala, a resident of Mota Bhandaria village.

Amreli Superintendent of Police (SP), Jagdish Patel said that “When the minister was addressing the crowd, Kaswala, who was sitting far from the dais, suddenly got up and threw two or three bangles towards the stage and shouted Vande Mataram. Due to the distance, the bangles did not reach the stage and the policemen quickly took him away,” he added.
While on the Incident, the local Congress leaders claimed that “Kaswala, by throwing the bangles, had actually raised the demand for a complete farm loan waiver in the state, the police denied it.”
This is the second such incident in the recent past in which a Union minister was targeted in Modi's home state.
