Adani row: Samyukt Kisan Morcha threatens protest in support of opposition's demand for JPC probe
Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Monday attacked the Centre over the Adani issue and threatened to launch a protest in support of the opposition's demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the allegations against the business group. In a statement, the SKM, an umbrella organisation of several farmers' bodies, also said that protests will be held in Uttar Pradesh on December 4 against proposed privatisation of electricity sector in the state.
The SKM accused the NDA government at the Centre of shielding industrialist Gautam Adani, against whom bribery allegations have been made in a US court.
«The case registered against Adani Group in the USA corroborates SKM's demand of no privatisation of the electricity sector and prepaid smart meters that will impose huge exploitation of the people,» the SKM said.
«NDA government had signed an agreement with SKM on December 9, 2021 and assured not to proceed on the Electricity Amendment Bill 2020 without consulting SKM. However, the Prime Minister violated the same, waving a green flag to the corporate cronies to commercialise the electricity sector thus endangering the development of both production and service sectors,» the statement said.
