Cong: JPC probe only way to address Adani issue

The Congress on Wednesday said a range of issues the party had raised with respect to Adani Group could only be addressed through a joint parliamentary committee probe (JPC) and not the ongoing Supreme Court-appointed committee, which may not be inclined to look at the entire gamut of questions.

“The SC-appointed expert committee lacks the jurisdiction to probe all aspects of the Adani issue and would only be a clean-chit panel for the government. Only a JPC can address all questions we have asked and we have until today asked 100 questions of the Prime Minister,” AICC general secretary communications Jairam Ramesh said.
