Mahua Moitra's sharp attack on Pawar for meeting Adani: ‘no fear in taking on…’

Hindustan Times  

Amid reports of Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar meeting Gautam Adani at his residence in Mumbai, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Thursday said no politician should engage with the industrialist. Mahua Moitra, who has been aggressive on the Adani issue, claimed that the business tycoon tried to contact her and a few others through his “friends/ wheeler-dealers” but “couldn't find the door”. Rather it is pro-public interest.” Mahua Moitra's tweet came hours after Adani reportedly met Pawar at the latter's Silver Oak residence in south Mumbai amid the Opposition's demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani-Hindenburg issue. Pawar took a position at variance from senior ally Congress and said he favoured a Supreme Court committee to probe allegations against the Adani group instead of a JPC.
