Congress Criticizes Vice President Dhankhar's Remarks on Market Regulator SEBI

The Congress has criticized Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar for his remarks suggesting that a person in a constitutional position is promoting a narrative that aims to harm India's economy. The comments were seen as directed at Rahul Gandhi, who questioned the integrity of SEBI's chairperson. Congress continues to question the government's handling of the allegations against SEBI.

In a sharp critique, the Congress on Friday targeted Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar over his controversial remarks, which implied that a person in a constitutional position was fueling a narrative aimed at harming India's economy. This came in direct response to comments by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.

Gandhi had previously raised concerns about the credibility of market regulator SEBI following allegations against its chairperson. Addressing these issues, Vice President Dhankhar, without naming Gandhi, claimed that invoking the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction to address such matters was worrisome.

Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate also criticized Dhankhar's comments, highlighting severe issues like unemployment, inflation, and economic inequality, stressing it was unfair to criticize PM Modi in such a manner.
