On Tuesday, the ED filed a charge sheet in the court against Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and other leaders in the National Herald case. Today, the Congress will take to the streets across the country to protest this action. The ED office will be surrounded in Jaipur. Former CM Ashok Gehlot, State Congress President Govind Singh Dotasara have announced to perform outside the ED office at 12 noon.

Therefore, the administration has also deployed heavy police force here. All Congress officials, MLAs, former MLAs, MPs and former MPs have also been asked to participate in this protest. Significantly, on Tuesday, the ED raided the residence of former Congress minister Pratap Singh Khacharia in the capital Jaipur in connection with the chit fund scam.
The ED has become active again after the assembly elections.
After the assembly elections in Rajasthan, the ED seems to be active again. During the assembly elections, the ED was also active on the cash and gold scam in the water life mission and DOIT. There were also some arrests in it.
The Congress said that this is the political revenge of the BJP.
The Congress seems to be very aggressive about the ED filing the charge sheet. The Congress says that it is an attempt to take a political revenge by the BJP to confiscate the properties of National Herald and file a charge sheet against Congress leaders without following the legal process. It is noteworthy that apart from Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case, the names of Sam Pitroda and Suman Dubey are also included in the list of accused. While the other accused include Sunil Bhandari of Young Indian, Dotex Merchandise Private Limited. The case is to be heard in court on 25 April.
