Protests in Gujarat Support Delhi March
In Gujarat, many young people, mostly college students, protested in several cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Junagadh, and Bhavnagar.
They were supporting a big protest in Delhi called 'Sansad Chalo' and a man named Sonam Wangchuk who is on a hunger strike.
They also complained about problems in the education system and exam paper leaks.
The protesters shouted for the Education Minister to resign and held up the Constitution.
The police took away about 150 people in Ahmedabad because they didn't have permission to protest.
The protesters said they were being treated unfairly while others who did bad things were free.
