New Delhi, Aug. 12: South Asian secular groups are planning to picket Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi when he visits Britain later this week, reports our special correspondent.

The South Asian Solidarity Group, the Indian Council of Muslims and other outfits are planning the protest against Modi for being the alleged architect of the Gujarat carnage that occurred after the Godhra train burning last February.

Modi will tour Britain to attract investment for Gujarat.

He may deliver a lecture, organised by the Overseas Friends of the BJP, at the Wembley Conference Centre in London on August 17.
