The Congress Party will demand the constitution of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe alleged financial irregularities by the Adani Group of companies once again in the coming Monsoon Session of Parliament.
Talking to newspersons, party spokesperson and General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said on Thursday: “Earlier also we had demanded JPC probe in the Adani issue in the Parliament. Now when the Monsoon Session will be conducted in the new Parliament, we will be demanding the same thing that is JPC probe.”
The Congress Party’s demand for the JPC prove had stalled proceedings in the two Houses of Parliament repeatedly during the Budget Session. The Government had rejected the demand stating that regulatory authorities were seized of the issue and probing the whole matter.
