Amid demands for a joint parliamentary inquiry into the Adani issue, a request for a JBC inquiry was made in Parliament, much to the opposition parties’ disbelief. The Adani Group has been accused of various irregularities and a colossal amount of debt by the US-based Hindenburg Research Institute. The opposition parties have been pressuring the central government to address the issue, and the demand for the joint parliamentary committee escalated during the budget session, resulting in the Parliament’s proceedings being paralyzed.
Although the opposition parties have been advocating for unity in the upcoming parliamentary elections, Sharad Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party, expressed his support for Adani during an interview with a well-known English TV channel. This statement shocked the opposition parties, who have been seeking unity against the BJP but are divided on the Adani issue. Sharad Pawar claimed that the matter was targeted, sparking controversy in the political circles. The opposition parties refrained from commenting on Pawar’s statement.
Delhi: While the opposition parties demanded a joint parliamentary inquiry into the Adani issue, a demand was made in the parliament for a JBC inquiry. Sharad Pawar’s statement that I do not agree with this has shocked the opposition parties.
The US-based Hindenburg Research Institute has published a report accusing the Adani Group of being involved in various irregularities and having a large amount of debt. The opposition parties, who have been showing their hand to Prime Minister Modi on the Adani issue, have taken the issue into their hands and given the central government a lot of pressure. In the budget session of the Parliament, there was intense pressure to order a joint parliamentary committee to investigate the allegations against the Adani Group.
Due to this, the proceedings of the Parliament House were paralyzed. Throughout the budget session, the opposition parties jointly put forward this demand and engaged in intense pressure. In the upcoming parliamentary elections, the opposition parties should come together to defeat the BJP, but on the issue of Adani, other parties, except the Trinamool Congress, spoke with one voice in the parliament as a show of unity. In this situation, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party, Sharad Pawar, who gave an interview to a famous English TV channel, spoke in support of Adani, which surprised the opposition parties.
When Sharad Pawar says in this regard, said, “Such statements have been given by some individuals before. There has been a lot of tension in the Parliament for a few days. But this issue has been given more importance now. It seems like a targeted matter.” This speech of Sharad Pawar is expected to surprise the opposition parties. Sharad Pawar’s apparent opposition to the opposition on the Adani issue drew attention in the political circles. Opposition parties refused to comment on Sharad Pawar’s speech.
