‘Sex clip’ goes viral, Hardik Patel cries foul

Ahmedabad, Nov 14: Patidar quota leader Hardik Patel got embroiled in a controversy on Monday as two sex video clips allegedly showing him with a woman went viral on social media.

About 10 days ago, Hardik had predicted that a doctored sex CD would be out soon to defame him. "Soon they will release my sex CD. Enjoy, keep watching," Hardik had said.

The video clips, showing recording of the night of May 16, 2017, sent social media into a tizzy as it was forwarded with barbs like "Patidar community and Gujarat's traitor Hardik Patel's kaam leela" and "This is the real face of pervert Hardik Patel who is misguiding Patel community." Authenticity of the two video clips could not be verified.

Hardik, who was participating in the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) core-committee meeting to discuss the Congress formula on constitutionally tenable quota for Patidars in Gandhinagar, dismissed the video clips as part of "dirty politics of BJP".

"The video is fake and morphed. It is part of dirty politics by the BJP that has stooped down to the lowest level to attack me," he said. "I am a man, I am not impotent.

The BJP has attacked my personal life. There are many people in the BJP. I will also come out with their CDs. Hardik has become big. Crores of rupees are being spent to defame me. Dirty politics has begun. I am not bothered but Gujarat's women are being insulted," Hardik tweeted.

Mansukh Mandaviya, Union MoS for road, transport and highways, said, "The BJP has nothing to do with Hardik Patel's video. Instead of blaming the BJP, Hardik Patel should have filed a complaint." Hardik insisted that the video clips would have no bearing on Patidar agitation.

"There is no connection between the agitation and the video clips. They have targeted my personal life, but it will backfire.

After the video clips went viral, I went to Kadi where thousands of youth stood by me. As long as people are with me, no attack on my personal life will adversely impact the quota agitation," said Hardik.

Ashwin Patel, former PASS convener who had begun Patidar agitation in 2012 before Hardik steered the stir to the next level in 2015, alleged that Hardik exploited girls. "I separated from Hardik as he exploited several girls, including a Patidar one. Hardik's aides from Surat, Morbi and Rajkot also exploited girls," alleged Ashwin.

"Hardik came to me in Delhi in 2015 with a girl claiming her to be his wife. He went to Manali and I have all the records and audio clips. If Hardik will not clarify now, I will produce the records in next four days," Ashwin, who lives in Delhi now, said.

The sex video clips are not related to the Patidar community, Lalji Patel, convener of Sardar Patel Group, said. "Those involved should see their name is cleared if allegations are false," he added.

Congress spokesperson Shaktisinh Gohilsupported Hardik. "The BJP has stooped to a low level of politics and such leaks infringe upon a citizen's fundamental right to privacy," said Gohil.

New Delhi, Jun 8: Union Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank has said that CBSE board results can be declared by August 15. The results of both class 10 and 12 will be declared at an interval of just a few days.

However, the decision to open schools will be taken after August keeping in mind the current COVID-19 situation. At present, the Ministry of Human Resource Development has not set any date for reopening schools.

Nishank said during a discussion "We hope that the results of both 10th and 12th class will be declared by August 15. These include the results of previous exams and the results of examinations in July."

On the issue of reopening of schools, Nishank said "after August the process of opening schools will be started."

A final decision in this regard will be taken only after assessing the prevailing conditions. According to the HRD ministry, after August, new sessions will also start in universities.

Meanwhile, the Arvind Kejriwal government in Delhi has also written to the HRD ministry on the subject of reopening schools. Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia said in the letter, "Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said some time ago that we have to learn to live with coronavirus. So it would be better to open schools with proper safety measures."

Sisodia said that first of all, we have to assure every child that they are important to us. Everyone has equal rights over the physical and intellectual environment of his school. Education cannot progress beyond online classes only. It would be impossible to pursue education only by calling older children to school and keeping younger children at home.

Several private schools have also suggested measures to the HRD ministry to open schools and safety in schools during this period. However, the ministry is not in a hurry to reopen schools at present. According to senior officials of the ministry, at present, preparations are being made to conduct the remaining board exams of class 10 and 12 between July 1 and 15.

After the examinations, the first priority is to declare the results. Only then can the process of reopening school colleges begin.
