Sachin Pilot Holds Fast Hours After Congress's "Anti-Party Activity" Rebuke

Congress leader Sachin Pilot today went ahead with his protest fast in Jaipur targeting his own government, in complete defiance of his party that had warned last night that his move would be seen as an "anti-party activity". With Mahatma Gandhi as his backdrop, Sachin Pilot sat at the "Shaheed Smarak Sthal" for his one-day fast against corruption, largely aimed at his party rival Ashok Gehlot, whom he accuses of not acting on allegations against the BJP's Vasundhara Raje.
