Human Chain by Opposition MPs Outside Parliament Demanding JPC Probe into Adani Issue

New Delhi: Opposition MPs formed a human chain outside the Parliament on Thursday to press for the demand of a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani issue.

Earlier on Thursday TMC MPs entered the Well of the Rajya Sabha with black clothes tied around their mouths to protest. A similar protest was seen in Lok Sabha as well.

Ruckus by members led to the adjournment in both Houses of the Parliament. Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned for the day. Congress and other opposition parties insisted on their demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani-Hindenburg row and the BJP members seeking an apology from Rahul Gandhi over his remarks made in London.

On Thursday morning, leaders of opposition parties met in the chamber of Leader of Parliament in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge inside the Parliament building. Leaders of the DMK, NCP, SP, RJD, BRS, CPM,CPI, SS, JDU, JMM, MDMK, AAP, VCK and IUML attended the meeting this morning.

Kharge told media, “It’s their conspiracy to not let the Parliament run and ignore our demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe in the Adani issue”.
