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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reports said that a march by leaders of 18 Opposition parties to the probe agency\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 \u201cmisuse\u201d of central agencies by the BJP regime against its political opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2019ve sought an appointment with ED and will release a joint complaint letter soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 \u201cto suppress our voice\u201d \u2026 \u201cand then they talk about democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kharge, reffering to BJP\u2019s demanding an apology from Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in the UK said: \u201cIf someone talks about these things in a debate, a seminar, they are called anti-national.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress and Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party, did not join the march.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adani Group endured over $120 billion in market losses- nearly half of the conglomerate\u2019s estimated value\u2014since the damning report released by US short-seller Hindenburg Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
