New Delhi: The proceedings in both Houses of Parliament were adjourned till 12 pm on Tuesday as opposition MPs continued their protests over the Union government not acceding to their demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the allegations against the Adani group.Earlier today, all 15 opposition parties, barring the Aam Aadmi Party, which participated in a meeting in the chamber of Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge to discuss the strategy in the wake of the Centre’s refusal to take up a discussion on the allegations against the Adani group levelled in the Hindenburg Research report, had decided to participate in the parliamentary debates. They had also agreed to participate in the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address.According to MP and Rajya Sabha whip Nasir Hussain, the meeting in Kharge’s chamber today was attended by the Congress, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal United, AAP, Communist Party of India (Marxist), CPI, Nationalist Congress Party, Shiv Sena, Indian Union Muslim League, National Conference, Revolutionary Socialist Party, Kerala Congress and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (also known as Dalit Panthers of India).‘Accept our demand for proper inquiry’During the meeting, Kharge accused the Union government of running away from a discussion on the Adani issue. He was quoted by news agency ANI as saying: “What we are saying is that we will discuss and you accept our demand for a proper inquiry and constitution of a JPC or CJI-monitored probe. Why are you nervous? What is wrong here, why don’t you do it? They (the Centre) are running away from discussion, not us.”Following the meeting, Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said that while most opposition parties have decided to participate in the parliamentary proceedings, they will “continue to raise the demand for a JPC into the PM-linked Adani MahaMegaScam”.AAP, BRS decide to not participate in proceedings till Adani issue is discussed separatelyApart from AAP, the Bharat Rashtra Samiti had also announced that it would not participate in the regular proceedings till the Centre agrees to discuss the opposition’s demands. Meanwhile, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said his party wants a separate discussion on the Adani issue.The other opposition parties, while agreeing to participate in the proceedings, had decided to continue with the demand for a JPC probe into the Adani issue and its impact on the financial institutions and banks that have made investments in it.After both the Houses paid respect to those killed in the earthquakes that rocked the Turkey-Syria region, the opposition member raised their demand for a probe.Discussion not allowed; LS, RS adjourned in wake of opposition protestsAs over the past few days, several MPs of various opposition parties gave notices for adjournment of House proceedings to discuss the issue. However, in the Lok Sabha, Speaker Om Birla did not accept the opposition’s demand for a discussion and adjourned the House within five minutes of its assembling. In the Rajya Sabha, Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankar adjourned the House within 12 minutes as the opposition raised slogans after their demand for a discussion on the Adani issue was not met.The opposition had over the last three days been staging continuous protests both within the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and outside in the Parliament premises seeking a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the allegations against the Adani group and its impact on public institutions and bank such as Life Insurance Corporation of India and State Bank of India which were invested in it.The LoP in Rajya Sabha Kharge had on Monday also demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi break his silence on the issue and reply to the charges and concerns being raised by the MPs.
