IANS New Delhi

Patel community leader Hardik Patel on Sunday vowed to join hands with other communities to widen the movement over reservation in education and jobs.

"We will mobilise this movement for all communities, not just the Patidars," the Patidar Arakshan Andolan Samiti convener told the media here after arriving from Gujarat.

He said he would support the Gujjar community in Delhi.

The reservation policy had taken the country 60 years back, Patel said. He made it clear that he did not enjoy the support of any political party.

Ten people were killed and scores injured as protests demanding reservation in education and jobs for the Patel community turned violent in Gujarat last week.
