SHIMLA/SRINAGAR/JAMMU: Himachal Congress-led by state president Pratibha Singh held a protest outside Raj Bhavan in Shimla on Wednesday during which she demanded arrest of Adani and registration of a corruption case against him.

The protest saw participation of party leaders from districts, blocks, who marched to the Raj Bhavan and raised slogans against the central government. It was held in response to the call for the protest given by the All India Congress Committee against the anti-people policies of the central government, serious allegations of corruption against Adani in the US court, protection from capitalists and increasing violence in Manipur.

Accusing BJP-led central government of saving Gautam Adani and his associates facing corruption charges, Pratibha Singh said, "Serious allegations of corruption, fraud and forgery have been levelled against Adani in the US court, due to which the loss of trust among domestic and international investors is worrying. This has also tarnished the reputation of the country."
