Adani-hidenburg row: AAP leader demands JPC probe
New Delhi, India Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday slammed the Centre after Hindenburg’s report raised concerns about the possibility of shares of Adani Group companies declining from their current levels owing to high valuations, and demanded a probe by a Joint Parliamentary Committee.
“Crores of people who have invested their money in LIC are worried today because of Adani’s corruption due to which investors of the country lost their Rs 4.50 lakh crore. Adani opened fraud companies and bought shares in his own firms through these fraud companies. Today he owes Rs 2.50 lakh crore. SBI has given huge loans to Adani, PM Modi-ji should come forward and tell how it became possible. We demand for a joint
parliamentary committee probe to investigate the entire fraud,” the AAP leader said while addressing a press conference. Singh also questioned the Centre on being ‘ silent’ over this entire matter.
“As Adani said that Hindenburg’s report is an attack on the country, and if that is true, then our PM, security advisors, and the Union Home Minister must come forward and speak on the matter. Where are CBI, ED, and Income Tax department? Why our government is silent on this entire matter? We willraise the issue in the Parliament also. The country should know the truth about this financial fraud after its complete investigation,” he said.
“We have huge respect for the President, but we demand that this issue should be discussed in the parliament,” Singh added.
AAP boycotted President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the joint sitting of both houses of Parliament on Tuesday, calling her speech ‘a bundle of false promises and false claims by the Narendra Modi Government’. “Hon’ble President’s speech is a bundle of false promises and false claims by the Modi Government. In this, there is not a word of her own.”
