Patidar leader Hardik Patel will return to Gujarat on Tuesday after spending six months outside the state. He will address a "massive" rally of the Patel community in Sabarkantha district.
The firebrand leader, who is facing sedition charges, was released on bail by the Gujarat High Court on 15 July last year, on the condition that he will stay outside the state for six months, starting 17 July. He had been staying in Udaipur in Rajasthan since then.
Hardik's close aide Dinesh Bambhaniya said he will receive a grand welcome on entering Gujarat from Ratanpur border.
Bambhaniya said Hardik is scheduled to address a “massive” rally planned by the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti in Himmatnagar which is expected to be attended by more than 1 lakh people.
