The Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday staged a protest outside the BJP headquarters in the National Capital, demanding a probe into the Adani Group by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC). The group has been accused by a US firm in its report of stock manipulation and accounting fraud.
The protest was led by AAP Delhi State Convenor and Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai, AAP Chief spokesperson and MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj and AAP senior leader and MLA Durgesh Pathak.
Rai said: “Today the whole country is asking only one thing from the Prime Minister and all the Chief Ministers, leaders, spokespersons, and workers of the BJP: you pretend to investigate everything, why are you afraid of an investigation into Adani now?”
Rai further said, “ED-CBI won’t investigate the Adani Scam. Only a Joint Parliamentary Committee can provide answers to the public’s questions now. The kind of scam Adani has done, the country is standing on the verge of an economic crisis.”
Demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe comprising members from various parties in the matter, Rai said, “BJP is running away from the probe. There is only one leader, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal who is not scared of any investigation.”
“This country does not belong to one Prime Minister, instead the nation belongs to crores of sons and daughters of Maa Bharti. Our Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal always says probe us a hundred times. Wherein Modi ji gets scared in the name of investigation. The whole country is now asking for a JPC probe in the matter,” he said while leading the protest.
AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj said, “Hindenburg has exposed many companies before this as well. After researching for two years, they came out with the report and told the world that Adani’s overvalued shares will sink.”
