UK's Boris Johnson Visits Sabarmati Ashram, JCB Bulldozer Factory In Gujarat

Boris Johnson became the first prime minister of the UK to visit the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, the place from where Gandhi led India's struggle for freedom from the British colonial rule for more than a decade. Later in the day, he visited a factory of the British heavy equipment maker JCB at Gujarat's Halol industrial area near Vadodara. The Prime Minister's visit to the bulldozer factory attracted outsized attention as it came amid a growing controversy over razing homes and shops by BJP-controlled governments.
