Wall built in Ahmedabad to keep slums out of sight won’t hide reality: Digvijaya Singh ahead of Trump’s visit

The 500 metre long and four feet tall wall is being built in Ahmedabad’s Sardarnagar, which has several slum structures, and is situated along a road that leads to the Indira bridge on the outskirts of the city from the airport, a route likely to be taken by Donald Trump’s motorcade.

“Will the wall hush up the reality in today’s era? Those who have hit people thousands of kilometres away with drones won’t be having pictures of Ahmedabad with ghettos and slums and the plight of poverty,” Singh asked when queried on the subject by reporters here.
