Opposition Demands Discussion on Adani Row…
New Delhi: On Thursday, 02 February 2023, Both Houses of the Parliament were adjourned till 2 pm within minutes of their resumption.
The adjournment was due to chaos by Opposition members demanding a discussion on the Hindenburg report and a massive reduction in share prices of the conglomerate.
The Opposition is also expected to raise the issue of Chinese transgressions at the border. On Tuesday, the Union Budget was presented yesterday in the Lok Sabha and the Economy Survey was tabled.
"We want to know why Prime Minister Narendra Modi is silent on Gautam Adani. He is a dearest friend of PM Modi. People invested their money in LIC, which invested money in Adani shares. We want a Supreme Court-ordered probe into the matter. A Joint Parliamentary Committee should be formed to look into the matter," said Sanjay Singh, AAP.
"Opposition parties said that we have taken a decision to call for discussion on all the scams taking place in the country.
We have given the suspension of Business Notice under rule 267 to discuss the issue of investment by LIC, Public Sector Banks and financial institutions in companies losing market value, endangering the hard-earned money of crores of Indians.
Large number of people have invested their hard-earned money in LIC, which in turn has invested in companies like the one whose share price has tanked after a US based company raised serious questions about it. We want a joint parliamentary committee or a Supreme Court-monitored panel to probe the matter."
