Rajasthan Congress rakes up Adani issue, demands probe into Pulwama attack; BJP calls party ‘anti-army’

“If Adani and Ambani have to be removed, Modi should be finished first… then defeat the BJP,” he said.

Everyone is talking about Adani while they should be talking about Modi. He is destroying the country and the BJP at the Centre is selling the nation. So, our fight is not with Adani but directly with the BJP, Randhawa said during the protest.

The Congress leader also demanded an inquiry into the 2019 Pulwama terror attack. “Till date, it is not known how the jawans were martyred,” he said.

Reacting to the demand, state BJP president Satish Poonia said Congress was “anti-army” and what Randhawa said was an insult to martyrs.

“I think that the statement of Randhawa reflects the character of the Congress. The statements of the Congress leaders proves that they are against the country, against the army, against the martyrdom,” Poonia said in a statement.

The Congress held several protests Monday across the country over the Adani-Hindenburg issue.

Rajasthan ministers, party MLAs and workers took part in the Jaipur protest held near the gate of Civil Lines Gate.
Randhawa said that PM Modi has brought the East India Company in the form of Adani and now businessmen like him are deciding the country’s policy, not the prime minister.

Hindenburg Research has accused the Adani Group of fraudulent transactions and share-price manipulation.
The Adani Group has dismissed the allegations.

The Congress and some other opposition parties have been demanding the Centre to form a joint parliamentary committee to look into the Adani issue.

Randhawa also urged the party’s women workers to work towards strengthening the Congress.
