‘Indicator of little panic’: Rahul Gandhi on Parliament Special Session
Narendra Modi over the recent allegations made against the Adani Group by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). The OCCRP alleged that hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in publicly traded Adani stock through opaque investment funds based in Mauritius to fuel the spectacular rise in group stocks from 2013 to 2018.
Attacking PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi asked why he was silent over the allegations. Rahul Gandhi questioned no investigation into the row and asked why PM Narendra Modi has not spoken about the allegations against the Adani Group.
Gandhi referred to the G20 Summit being hosted by India and the reports on the Adani group in two British papers and said the allegations impact perception about India. "...It is very important that the Prime Minister of India Mr Narendra Modi clears his name and categorically explains what is going on.
