Congress Threatens Nationwide Protest Over Modi Government's Alleged SEBI Scandal

The Congress party has threatened to launch a nationwide protest if its demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into allegations against SEBI chairperson Madhabi Buch is not accepted. The party accuses Prime Minister Narendra Modi of supporting Adani and using the Enforcement Directorate to divert attention from the scandal.

Stepping up its attack on the Narendra Modi government, the Congress on Monday threatened a nationwide protest if its demand for a JPC probe into the Hindenburg Research allegations against SEBI chairperson Madhabi Buch is not met.

AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal described the allegations as ''very serious'' and accused the Prime Minister of backing Adani.

''The Prime Minister's silence amounts to a destruction of credibility,'' Venugopal stated, accusing the government of diverting attention using the Enforcement Directorate against Rahul Gandhi.
