AAP Seeks Joint Parliamentary Panel To Look Into Adani Row"We want to know why (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi is silent on (Gautam) Adani. He is a close friend of PM Modi. People invested their money in LIC, which invested money in Adani shares. We want a Supreme Court-ordered probe into the matter. A Joint Parliamentary Committee should be formed to look into the matter," said Sanjay Singh, AAP.
Opposition Demands Discussion On Adani Row"We (opposition parties) have taken a decision to call for discussion on all the scams taking place in the country. We have given the suspension of Business Notice under rule 267 to discuss the issue of investment by LIC, Public Sector Banks and financial institutions in companies losing market value, endangering the hard-earned money of crores of Indians. Large number of people have invested their hard-earned money in LIC, which in turn has invested in companies like the one whose share price has tanked after a US based company raised serious questions on it. We want a joint parliamentary committee or a Supreme Court-monitored panel to probe the matter."
