Gautam Adani’s 2 Hr Long Meeting with NCP Chief Sharad Pawar in Mumbai

Mumbai: Industrialist Gautam Adani met NCP chief Sharad Pawar at the latter’s residence in Mumbai on Thursday. Their crucial meeting at Pawar’s residence, Silver Oak in Mumbai, lasted nearly two hours, party sources said.

Their meeting follows Pawar’s recent support of the businessman following allegations of stock manipulation by a US-based short-seller Hindenburg Research’s report. It came at a time when the Opposition is demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the issue.

Earlier this month, Sharad Pawar extended his support to the Adani group, criticising the narrative around the Hindenburg report on the conglomerate.

Pawar said he was in favour of a Supreme Court committee to probe the allegations against the Adani group, which was in contrast to the JPC probe demand by the Congress. The NCP chief later said although his party does not agree with the demands of the anti-BJP parties for a JPC probe, it will not go against their stand for opposition unity.
