3 min readExpress News Service
NEW DELHI: THE face-off between the Opposition and the federal government escalated on Wednesday after a march organised by 18 Opposition events demanding a probe into the Adani row was referred to as off after Delhi police blocked the roads. At least 200 MPs from a number of Opposition events took half within the march, which began from Parliament House. They have been stopped at Vijay Chowk, following which the members referred to as off the march and returned to Parliament.
Leader of Opposition within the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjuna Kharge, who led the march, stated the federal government is making an attempt to suppress the voice of the Opposition inside and outdoors Parliament. “They have deployed over 2,000 police personnel and we are only 200 people. We are doing a peaceful protest and not harming anyone. We are only requesting them to allow us to go to the ED office and submit our letter to ED. We want an inquiry into the Hindenburg finding and the exposure of LIC and SBI to Adani group. We want to know why the government is helping Adani,” stated Kharge. Though the MPs requested the police to permit them to fulfill the ED director in small teams, the police didn’t relent. “We were told that the ED director did not want to meet us,” stated Pramod Tiwari, Congress deputy chief within the Rajya Sabha.
Later, Kharge emailed the grievance to the ED director, through which he, together with a number of opposition MPs, demanded an intensive probe into the report of New York-based Hindenburg Research, which accused Adani group of stock-price manipulation and fraud. Reminding the ED that it can not flip round and abdicate its jurisdiction, the letter stated: “Charges related to accounting fraud, the dubious nature of how the Follow-On Public Offer was manipulated behind the scenes, the shocking similarity with Adani’s previous actions for which they have been investigated by your predecessors, are all available in the public domain.”
TMC lacking in motion
The Trinamool Congress was not among the many checklist of signatories of the letter. The Mamata Banerjee-led social gathering didn’t attend the march both
