Adani row: Congress holds protests in MP, seeks FM Sitharaman’s resignation

The Congress on Monday staged protests across Madhya Pradesh for a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) probe into allegations of stock manipulation against Adani Group and demanded the resignation of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

In Bhopal, an agitation was organised in front of the office of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) in GTB Complex by Congress leaders led by district unit chief Kailash Mishra. Congress workers raised slogans against the Adani Group and the BJP-led Central government.

“We are protesting for a JPC probe into allegations of irregularities against Adani. These irregularities occurred under Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, so she should resign immediately,” Mishra told PTI.
