Jaipur. A democratic scene was seen in Jaipur on Wednesday, when senior Congress leaders and activists raised their voice. The Congress demonstrated a big demonstration outside the ED office in the capital Jaipur against the ED action in the National Herald case. Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie and hundreds of activists participated in this protest started at 12 noon.
‘This is just the demand for justice, the support of truth’
Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said in his address, “This kind of atmosphere has been created in the country as if a huge scam has taken place. While the truth is that the matter has been investigated earlier and the Congress leadership has got a clean chit. It is just an attempt to repeat a false accusation. Our struggle is for truth, for the truth, our struggle is for democracy.”
‘Solidarity against misuse of power’
Tikaram Julie said that the opposition is being targeted by misusing the national agencies. He bluntly said, “This is not a money laundering case, but a case of a non-profit institution. There is no transaction, action is being taken only in a sense of political revenge.”
Sachin Pilot said from Delhi – this matter inspired by politics
Former Rajasthan Deputy CM Sachin Pilot said during a protest in Delhi, “This whole matter is inspired by politics. We believe in the judiciary and will resolve it by staying within the purview of the law. The efforts to tarnish the image of Sonia Gandhiji, the people of the country understand it.”
Rajasthan government’s contradictory statement
At the same time, state government minister Jogaram Patel pointed to the history of Congress scams and said that the ED is taking action under its investigation process and the Congress should believe in the judicial process.
