Ahead of the 18th G20 Summit in New Delhi on September 9 and 10, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi demanded that Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi break his silence over the Adani issue and allow a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) probe into the alleged financial and stock market irregularities of the corporate house to save the reputation of the country. Citing media reports about financial irregularities in the Adani Group, Gandhi made his demands at a media conference during the I.N.D.I.A bloc’s third conclave in Mumbai on Thursday. 

“The current flavour is G20 and it is about India’s position in the world. It is important for India that there be a level playing field and transparency in our economic environment and businesses. This morning, two global financial newspapers have raised an important question. These are not any random newspapers. These newspapers affect investment in India and the perception of India in the rest of the world,” he said.
