New Delhi, March 24, 2023 (PPI-OT): Several opposition parties have staged a protest march inside the Indian Parliament complex in support of their demand for a Joint Parliament Committee (JPC) investigation into the Adani group issue. Leaders of various opposition parties gathered at the main gate of the Parliament House building and raised slogans against the government and called for a JPC probe. Holding placards and banners, opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) raised slogans and demanded that a JPC probe be initiated into the Adani issue.

Joined by top party leaders of various parties and led by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, the opposition MPs then staged a protest march from Parliament gate to Ambedkar statue inside the Parliament complex, where they again raised slogans and asked why the government was running away from ordering a JPC probe into the Adani issue. Kharge thanked the leaders of various parties for extending support to the protest march and said they would continue with their protest till their demand was met.

“We are raising the demand for a JPC on the Adani issue. But the Government of India is not ready to accept the simple JPC demand,” Kharge said at the protest, adding that a JPC would have more members from the ruling party than the opposition parties and they should have no objection to it. He also said the BJP does not want the Parliament records to reflect anything on the Adani issue. “They do not want any record on the Adani issue. They don’t want transparency and that is why they want to finish democratic institutions and also the Constitution. Therefore, we are continuing with our agitation,” he added.
