Congress to stage major protest in Jaipur over ED action in National Herald case

The city administration deployed heavy police force around the ED office to manage the protest and maintain law and order. The protest came amid heightened political tensions following ED raids on the premises of former minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas in Jaipur on Tuesday in connection with a chit fund case.Dotasara also took to X (formerly Twitter), describing the ED’s chargesheet as an act of “cowardice and pettiness”.“The central government is trying to intimidate a family that has sacrificed for the country and is repeatedly misusing agencies for political gains,” he wrote. “The truth will not bow down. The country is with us in this fight for justice against dictatorship.”The chargesheet filed by the ED names former Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, and senior leaders including Sam Pitroda, Suman Dubey, Sunil Bhandari of Young Indian, and Dotex Merchandise Pvt. Ltd. The next hearing in the matter is scheduled for April 25.
