New Delhi, Feb 3: The Opposition on Friday gave the Suspension of Business Notice for both Houses of the Parliament, demanding a discussion on the Hindenburg report on the Adani Group.
Among the leaders, DMK Rajya Sabha MP Tiruchi Siva gave suspension of business notice under rule 267 to discuss “The adverse impact of the business activities of Adani group on India economically and morally,” he said.
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari also gave the Suspension of Business Notice under Rule 267 in Rajya Sabha to discuss “the issue of fraud in investment by LIC, SBI, Public Sector Banks and Other Financial Institutions losing market value.”
However, later, both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned amid ruckus. LS has been adjourned till 2pm while RS till 2:30 pm with opposition parties demanding an unbiased investigation under the administration of the Supreme Court or a joint parliamentary committee to investigate the charges rose in the Hindenburg report against the Adani Group.
Meanwhile, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to brief BJP MPs on the Union Budget, which is expected to be attended by all BJP Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members.
In a tweet posted on Friday morning, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh tweeted that “Floor leaders of Opposition parties will be meeting in the chamber of LoP Mallikarjun Kharge in Parliament to coordinate strategy. Only an independent investigation will save LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India), SBI (State Bank of India) & other institutions forced by PM (Prime Minister) to invest in Adani Group.”
