The activists had gathered in front of a mosque to organise a march up to the Naroda Patia where more than 103 Muslims were killed during the 2002 riots.
Before the activists could start their march, police reached the spot. Sarabhai said the police did not give any reason for arresting them.
She said the activists wanted to take out a march to expose the chief minister’s “lies and farce” who had been repeatedly saying for the last two days that all the communities had been living peacefully and were progressing.
“Is it ‘sadbhavna’ that victims of 2002 riots had not got justice even after 10 years?” questioned Sarabhai.
