Guj Govt in favour of Hardik's release, claims MP Radadiya

BJP MP Vitthal Radadiya, who is mediating between the Patel quota agitation leaders and the Gujarat Government, today claimed that the Government was in favour of release of all the jailed leaders, including Hardik Patel.
However, he said, the Government could not do much as the cases against these leaders are pending in various courts.
"Government is in favour of releasing Patel leaders. The Government also has no problem in accepting various demands put forward by the Patel leaders. However, Government's hands are tied because of various court matters against these leaders," he told reporters in Rajkot.
The Porbandar MP said he recently met the Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on this issue.

"As there are many cases in various courts, including the Supreme Court and High Court, Government can not take any decision at present. Once these courts give orders, the Government would take positive steps for the release of jailed leaders," said Radadiya.
Hardik and some other quota agitation leaders are in jail since September last year.
