Opposition march to ED office

The Delhi Police, Wednesday, foiled a planned march by Opposition parties to the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) office in the national capital to push for their demand for a probe into the Adani row.

Reports said that a march by leaders of 18 Opposition parties to the probe agency’s office, which started from the Parliament today afternoon, was foiled by the police who put up blockades and deployed a massive contingent of personnel to stop the rally.

According to a statement, the Opposition leaders had planned the march to the ED office to push for an investigation into the Adani issue and its alleged connection with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The leaders were also protesting the alleged “misuse” of central agencies by the BJP regime against its political opponents.

However, the protesting leaders called off the march and returned to the Parliament after they were unable to move ahead. The Opposition leaders said they’ve sought an appointment with ED and will release a joint complaint letter soon.

Speaking to media after the march was foiled, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge told reporters lamented a force of 2,000 policemen was deployed to stop 200 people from leading a peaceful march. He alleged that the ruling regime wants “to suppress our voice” … “and then they talk about democracy.”

Kharge, reffering to BJP’s demanding an apology from Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in the UK said: “If someone talks about these things in a debate, a seminar, they are called anti-national.”

Notably, Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress and Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party, did not join the march.

Opposition led by the Congress have been demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the damning Hindenburg report that led to rout in shares of Adani Group since its release in January this year.

Adani Group endured over $120 billion in market losses- nearly half of the conglomerate’s estimated value—since the damning report released by US short-seller Hindenburg Research.

In its critical report, Hindenburg Research accused the Adani Group of indulging in improper use of offshore tax havens and stock manipulation while also raising concerns about high debt and the valuations of seven listed Adani companies.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday distributed two-wheelers to female students of Maharani College in Rajasthan’s Jaipur. The Wayanad MP also took a pillion rides on a girl’s scooter.

After distributing the two-wheeler, Gandhi could be seen taking a ride pillion on a girl’s scooter and surrounded by other female students riding the scooter.

The video of Rahul Gandhi taking a ride pillion on a girl’s scooter has been shared widely on the internet.

Earlier in May this year, Rahul Gandhi took a joyride on a delivery boy’s scooter in Bengaluru as he hopped in the man’s two-wheeler and rode pillion.

In a video that was widely shared on the internet, the Gandhi scion, who was campaigning for the Congress ahead of the May 10 elections in Karnataka, was seen surrounded by a large crowd of supporters and party workers in the heart of Bengaluru city.

The former Wayanad MP then stops to console a little boy who apparently became emotional after meeting Gandhi and in the meantime a delivery man stops near the Congress leader as he’s comforting the kid.

Then, in the spur of the moment, Rahul Gandhi hops on the man’s scooter and puts on a helmet as the two slowly ride through the swarm of the leader’s supporters.

According to reports, Rahul Gandhi rode a pillion with the delivery agent for nearly 2 kms before he dropped the former Congress chief at his hotel.

The videos of Rahul Gandhi’s spontaneous scooter ride with the delivery agent went viral on social media with users appreciating the Congress scion’s down-to-earth style of connecting with people.

In another video, Rahul was also seen with the truck drivers on foreign soil and rode from Washington DC to New York with truck driver Taljinder Singh. During the 190-km long journey, the Congress leader and the truck driver exchanged their views regarding the working conditions of Indian and American truck drivers.
