Ashram victim's father threatens another fast

AHMEDABAD: The groups which had given bandh calls on July 18 and 21 after the mystery deaths of Dipesh and Abhishek Vaghela - pressing for a fair probe, has again announced future programs against the administration including a 72-hour fast from August 8 onwards.
"We can understand that the bomb blasts have made the officials' work difficult but it should not be an excuse for the ineffectiveness.We believe that the investigating agency is tackling the issue with children's gloves. The Madhya Pradesh police have shown results in less than a week's time about two mysterious deaths. We demand a fair probe and punishment for the culprits, even if they are high and mighty," said Prakash Kapadia, president of the agitation committee, in a press conference.
He added that more than hundred people will join in three-day long fast if the parents of the children are not satisfied with the progress in the case or line of investigation . "More trade groups and employees union will be roped in after August 11 if the system fails to react," said Kapadia.
Shantibhai Vaghela and Rakesh Vaghela, the children's uncle, were present in the press briefing. Praful Vaghela could not attend the meet due to health problems. However, he sent a video tape showing solidarity with the cause and thanked the supporters who helped him fight the issue for more than a month.
