Congress MPs Protest Over Adani Scandal

Since the beginning of the Winter Session on November 20, both Houses of Parliament have witnessed frequent disruptions. Opposition parties, particularly the Congress, have demanded a thorough investigation into the Adani bribery scandal, accusing the central government of avoiding a discussion on the issue. On Monday, Congress MPs Manickam Tagore and Saptagiri Sankar Ulaka wore face masks of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani. Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, took pictures of the MPs and humorously asked about their “relationship.” In response, the MPs joked, “We will do everything together.”

Allegations Against Adani Group

The US prosecutors recently charged Gautam Adani and his associates for allegedly paying over 0 million in bribes to Indian officials to secure favorable terms for solar energy contracts. The bribery claims have sent shockwaves across the political landscape in India. Opposition leaders have criticized the Modi government for not allowing a debate on this serious matter in Parliament. They have demanded that a joint parliamentary probe be conducted into the allegations.

Rahul Gandhi’s Appeal

Rahul Gandhi took the opportunity to urge Prime Minister Modi not to shy away from the investigation. He publicly challenged Modi, urging him to attend the Winter Session and not let the issue of corruption go unaddressed. Gandhi’s comments have sparked a fresh wave of political debate surrounding the Adani case.

Adani Group’s Response

The Adani Group, however, has dismissed all allegations as baseless. They have stated that these charges are politically motivated and part of an ongoing campaign to malign the company’s reputation. Despite the group’s defense, the controversy continues to fuel protests across the country.
