Modi trying to protect Adani else he would have ordered a probe, says Rahul Gandhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to protect businessman Gautam Adani or else he would have ordered an inquiry into the allegations of fraud by the Adani Group, former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters minutes after the Prime Minister replied to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address in the Lok Sabha, Mr. Gandhi said none of his questions involving the Adani Group was answered. It is clear that the Prime Minister is protecting him,” Mr. Gandhi added, referring to the Hindenburg report’s allegations that the Adani Group operated offshore shell companies. While the Congress’ Jairam Ramesh tweeted that “With the expunging of Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on PM linked Adani Maha Mega Scam, deMOcracy was cremated in the Lok Sabha”, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi asserted that Mr. Gandhi did not follow the parliamentary practice of giving advance notice if he wanted to make any allegations against an individual. Speaking in the House, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad mounted a scathing attack on Mr. Gandhi and said, “Those out on bail and are currently facing trial are levelling baseless allegations”.
