New Delhi, February 14
The Congress on Tuesday alleged that the Centre was “running away” from a JPC probe into the Adani-Hindenburg issue and said such an investigation be allowed if the government has nothing to hide in the matter.
The Congress’ attack on the government came after Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s reported remarks that there is nothing for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to hide or be afraid of in the matter.
Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters here, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said he has written to RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das and SEBI chief Madhabi Puri Buch for an impartial probe into the Adani issue.
Reacting to Shah’s reported remarks, Ramesh said, “If they do not have anything to hide, why are they running away from a Joint Parliamentary Committee (probe).” “They do not even allow us to raise the demand of the JPC in Parliament. When our leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge ji, raised the demand for JPC, their remarks were expunged,” Ramesh said.
