Opposition MPs on Monday held a protest in front of Gandhi statue in Parliament complex and stalled proceedings in both houses while demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe or a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into the Adani issue.
Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 2 PM after opposition members protested in both houses seeking a discussion on the matter.
Adani group stocks have taken a beating on the bourses after US-based activist short-seller Hindenburg Research made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share price manipulation at the Gautam Adani-led group.
The govt will try its best that no discussion takes place on the Adani issue in Parliament. The govt should allow a discussion on this in the Parliament, Congress MP and former president Rahul Gandhi was quoted as saying by ANI
Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh told ANI outside parliament, We need PM Modi’s statement on Adani issue, which has affected the lives of people & lost crores of money. We want a discussion under rule 267. We won’t back down till PM agrees to have a discussion in Parliament.
People are worried but Govt is trying to cover up the Adani issue. Adani is claiming that this is an attack on nation, but how? We want a JPC probe into this, Manoj Jha, RJD MP told ANI
