Suspected ISIS operatives arrested from Gujarat: BJP asks Ahmed Patel

Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Oct 28, 2017 : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a scathing attack on Rajya Sabha MP Ahmed Patel and asked him to explain how one of the two suspected ISIS terrorists, arrested from Gujarat, was employed at a hospital where the Congress leader was one of the trustees. The Congress, on the other hand, said the BJP was making baseless statements to hide their incompetence.

 

 

One of the two ISIS terrorists, Mohammad Kasim Stimberwala, who was arrested by the Gujarat ATS on Thursday, was employed as an echo technician in Sardar Patel Hospital and Heart Institute in Bharuch where Ahmed Patel was a trustee. Kasim, however, had tendered his resignation to the hospital management on October 4 this year. Kasim and Ubed Ahmed Mirza were arrested by Gujarat ATS for allegedly plotting an attack on a Jewish synagogue in Khadia area of Ahmedabad.

Addressing a press conference, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani sought clarification from Ahmed Patel and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi. “These two accused were working in the hospital run by Congress leader Ahmed Patel who was a trustee there. Patel along with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should clarify how suspected ISIS recruits were employed at the hospital,” Rupani said. The BJP leader also asked Patel to resign from Rajya Sabha on moral grounds.
