Rajasthan police early on Friday morning removed the widows from the protest site outside Congress leader Sachin Pilot's house here and shifted them to hospitals near their respective residential areas.
In an apparent attack on the Ashok Gehlot-led government in Rajasthan over the protest by the widows of soldiers killed in the 2019 Pulwama terror attack, former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot Friday said the issue should be heard out keeping ego aside.
Rajasthan police early on Friday morning removed the widows from the protest site outside Congress leader Sachin Pilot's house here and shifted them to hospitals near their respective residential areas.
The widows have been protesting since February 28 and launched an indefinite hunger strike six days ago, demanding a change in rules so that their relatives and not just children can get government jobs on compassionate grounds.
Their other demands include the construction of roads and the installation of statues of the martyrs in their villages.
