Parliament Disrupted Amid Adani Allegations & Opposition Protests

Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned as the government did not permit discussions on the Adani 'scam' or reports of Sambhal violence. Allegations against Gautam Adani and associates for bribing Indian officials surfaced, adding to the tension. Opposition parties demand transparency and fair competition.

On Thursday, the Congress party claimed that the government's refusal to discuss the Adani 'scam' led to the adjournment of both Houses of Parliament. The opposition alleged that this refusal is sabotaging fair competition across various economic sectors.

The Lok Sabha was forced into adjournment due to opposition protests against violence in Sambhal and the Adani controversy. Similarly, Rajya Sabha proceedings were disrupted for the third consecutive day as MPs raised concerns about the Adani issue and violence in Manipur and Sambhal.

Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh stated that the ongoing disruptions stem from the government's reluctance to address the 'Modani scam,' which he claimed is tarnishing the global reputation of corporate India. This follows accusations by the US Department of Justice against Adani, his nephew Sagar, and another executive for allegedly bribing Indian officials to secure lucrative solar electricity contracts.
