The Janata curfew was introduced by Indulal Yagnik in the year 1950. Indulal Yagnik was a great leader of the Maha Gujarat movement. He was the architect of a vigorous agitation demanding a separate Gujarat state. At that time, the Center and the then Bombay Government tried hard to suppress the movement, but Indulal had imposed a curfew in Ahmedabad on the strength of his popularity.
At that time there were rallies in Ahmedabad by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Bombay Chief Minister Morarji Desai. Due to Janata curfew to go to the meetings, the public did not come out of their homes and in this way the demand for a separate state of Gujarat was accepted.
