"It was an attack by militants with a motive to disrupt peace and elections in the state," VHP international general secretary Pravin Togadia said in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
The VHP will also observe 'Shauryadivas' on December 6 throughout the country to mark the 10th anniversary of the demolition of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya.
Togadia earlier called on Patel at Sterling Hospital.
Two motorcycle-borne gunmen had shot at Patel on Tuesday evening when he was going to his clinic in a car.
