New Delhi (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: On Thursday, united opposition sought for one day discussion over the allegations made by the Hindenburg research over the fraudulent manipulating shares by the Adani group. Opposition also sought investigation into the allegations which have triggered unprecedented stock crash.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla denied their requests, asking members to “not to make unsubstantiated claims” while Rajya Sabha Chairperson, Vice Presdent Jagdeep Dhankar rejected all motions by opposition, saying they were “not in order”. Infuriated, opposition members shouted slogans and protested the moves.
Nine parties filed notices for discussing the Adani stock crash in parliament as leaders of several opposition parties met in the morning to whack out a joint strategy to take on the central government during the Budget Session, and decided to seek a debate on the Adani Group issue.
The meeting in the chambers of the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, had leaders of 13 parties, including the Trinamool Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party, DMK, Janata Dal-United, and the Left.
“Keeping public interest in mind, we want a thorough probe into the Adani issue either by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) or a Supreme Court-monitored panel. There should also be day-to-day reporting of the investigation on the issue,” Mr Kharge told reporters.
