Pratap Singh Khachariyawas leads protest to save Aravalli: 'We will die to save it'

In Jaipur, Congress leader Pratap Singh Khachariyawas is leading a protest against a Supreme Court ruling concerning mining in the Aravalli mountain range. Khachariyawas and his supporters marched to voice their opposition, claiming the ruling threatens the region's ecological stability. He argues that the decision, based on a flawed 2024 Environment Ministry committee report, will wreak havoc on the environment. Khachariyawas stated, 'Even if we die, we will save Aravalli. No matter what we have to do.' He accused the BJP of facilitating corruption for the benefit of the 'mining mafia' and industrialists, vowing that the Congress party will not accept the court's decision and will continue to fight to protect the ancient mountain range, which he describes as a lifesaver for Rajasthan.
