13 Sep 09 ‘Harassed by bahu’, 105-yr-old leads 60 of family on dharna
Rajkot : This one could well turn the scripts of the teary saas-bahu TV serials on their head. A 105-year-old patriarch of a Rajkot joint family is on a hunger strike against its own daughter-in-law — with some 60 members of his joint family in tow — outside their home in Mahudi gav.The family’s estranged bahu, they claim, has been harassing them to no end and there was no other way to get it to stop.From the 105-year-old Arjan to five-year-old Abhay, these 60-odd members of the Thummar family have been holding their dharna in the scorching heat for two days now. They claim Rekha, Arjan’s daughter-in-law, has been a source of constant harassment.
