Opposition parties in India will meet on Monday to devise a strategy for Parliament proceedings following the suspension of Congress MP Rajani Patil and expunging of parts of speeches of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge with regards to the Adani report by American shortselling research firm Hindenburg.
The meeting of like-minded opposition parties will take place in Parliament House. Mallikarjun Kharge, who is also Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, on Friday had alleged that the Center was conspiring to hide the truth by exerting undue pressure on the presiding officers.
“The (Narendra) Modi government is conspiring to hide the truth by exerting undue pressure on the presiding officers of both the Houses of the Parliament, and is conspiring to suppress the JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee) inquiry demand (into the Adani issue),” Kharge said.
His remarks came after parts of the speeches of Rahul Gandhi and Kharge made in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha respectively were expunged by the presiding officers.
Kharge said that questions will be asked both inside Parliament as well as in the ‘people’s parliament’.
“Should there not be an inquiry into the Adani scam? Shouldn’t the falling value of LIC’s money, invested in Adani’s companies, be questioned? Shouldn’t questions be asked about the ₹82,000 crore loan given to Adani by SBI and other banks,” he asked.
