ED is totally exposed, says Sharmila
Y S Jagan's sister Sharmila was today totally dismissive of the Enforecemt Directorate's order to attach Jagan's assets.
Soon after the ED has released its order, Sharmila, accompanied by her mother and YSR Congress honourary president Vijayamma, told mediapersons in Hyderabad that the ED's directive in the quid pro quo case was totally meaningless.
"Today we have received the ED's notice saying that Sakshi's properties are being attached. The agency, in its notice said that the Hetro and Arabindo companies were benefited to the tune of Rs 22 crore and that to reciprocate this both the companies had invested Rs 29 crore in Jagan's companies. When they were benefited only by Rs 22 crore how will they invest Rs 29 crore as quid pro quo as claimed by the ED," she asked. "Even a layman would understand this and it amply reflects how meaningless the ED notice is," she observed.
The CBI is conducting a simultaneous probe into Jagan's assets case and the Emmar property case. But there was absolutely no probe into the Chandrababu Naidu's properties case. CBI did not bother to at least pay attention to the largescale irregularities committed by Chandarababu Naidu," Sharmila observed. The CBI officials had not even questioned Naidu in the IMG land case. TDP MPs had met Union Minister for Finance Chidambaram earlier today and wanted immediate action by ED against Jagan. And, within two hours, the ED had served notices," she pointed out.
Sharmila suspected a deep-rooted conspiracy to finish Jagan politically. A serious attempt is being made to infleunce theSupreme Court on the eve of the Jagan's bail petition, she added. When the CBI had changed its counsel of its own accord, unnecessary controversy had been raked up on this issue, she said and to bring home her point she pointed out the CBI's plea to the court last time seeking adjournment of the petition as it had not come prepared to the court.
"When the bail application coming up before the Supreme Court tomorrow, the notices are served. Crores of people are eagerly waiting for Jagan to come out on bail. Jagan has the blessings of all of them. YSR Congress candidates had received massive mandate in the recent by-elections," she stated.
"We fondly hope that the legal system will not succumb to such cheap tactics and that we have immense faith in the God," she observed.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
