NEW DELHI: Congress and other INDIA bloc parties conducted a novel protest on the Adani issue in Parliament on Thursday with members wearing black jackets with badges reading ‘Modi-Adani Ek Hai’ and ‘Adani Safe Hai’. They also raised slogans demanding a joint parliamentary committee probe into allegations against Adani group.
TMC and SP, who have steered clear of Congress-led protests on the Adani issue, again kept away. Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, with a badge on his trademark white T-shirt, said PM Modi could not get a probe done against Adani group chairman Gautam Adani as it would amount to a probe against himself. Congress MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and lawmakers of RJD, CPM, CPI, DMK, Sena UBT and JMM, were among those who participated in the protest.
Speaker Om Birla urged members not to sport lapel pins and badges in Parliament other than the Tricolour.
