Adani Issue: Opposition MPs March from Parliament to ED Office Demanding Probe

New Delhi: MPs of several Opposition parties took out a protest march from Parliament to the Enforcement Directorate‘s (ED) office in Delhi on Wednesday. They are to hand over a complaint to the ED on the Adani issue.

The Delhi Police increased security measures outside the ED office. The opposition parties are demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the Adani-Hindenburg row.

Earlier in the day, the leaders met in the office of the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge in the Parliament House complex to coordinate their joint strategy on the issue.

US short-seller Hindenburg Research had alleged that the Adani group was “engaged in brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud”, and used offshore shell companies to inflate stock prices. The Adani group denied the allegations, calling them “malicious”, “baseless” and a “calculated attack on India.
