"These workers had gathered outside a hotel near Ashram Road where Swamy addressed a press conference this morning. We detained them as they were shouting slogans on the road and released them after two hours," said the Ellisbridge police station officer Pravin Parmar.
Gujarat Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi said Swamy was trying to defame Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi.
"Youth Congress workers staged a demonstration because Swamy is talking all kind of nonsense about our leaders without any proof. As he has been sidelined in his own party, he is trying hard to be noticed by (Prime Minister) Modi," said Doshi.
