INDIA bloc MPs protest over Adani issue in Parliament complex
New Delhi (PTI): Leaders of some INDIA bloc parties on Monday protested inside Parliament complex and raised slogans to demand a joint parliamentary probe into the Adani issue.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge along with MPs of other opposition parties stood outside the Makar Dwar of Parliament and raised slogans of "Modi, Adani ek hain" and "we want justice".
The Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party were not part of the protest. The BJP has been alleging that the INDIA bloc is disintegrating.
However, Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said "all is well" in the opposition bloc.
MPs of the Left, DMK, Shiv Sena (UBT), RJD and NCP were among those who raised slogans and demanded a discussion and a probe into the Adani Group.
The protest took place in front of the steps of Parliament's Makar Dwar and not on the steps leading to it following an advisory by the Lok Sabha Secretariat not to protest on the steps.
The protesting MPs lined up in front of the Samvidhan Sadan and raised slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Adani.
The opposition protests on the Adani issue have been taking place inside Parliament complex ever since the start of the winter session.
The Congress and some other opposition parties have been demanding a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) probe following the indictment of Adani and other company officials in a US court.
The Congress has said Adani's indictment "vindicates" its demand for a JPC probe into the various "scams" involving the billionaire industrialist's conglomerate.
Rahul Gandhi has sought Adani's immediate arrest.
The Adani Group has dismissed all allegations as "baseless".

Actor Darshan's pistol license temporarily suspended
Bengaluru: The Bengaluru Police Administrative Division has ordered the temporary suspension of the pistol license of actor Darshan, the primary accused in the Renukaswamy murder case.
The police cited concerns that Darshan, currently out on bail, could potentially influence witnesses in the ongoing murder trial. In this background, the Rajarajeshwari Nagar police station will confiscate the firearm until the case concludes.
Earlier, DCP Padmini Sahu of the Bengaluru Police Administrative Division had issued a notice to Darshan seeking an explanation from Darshan on why his pistol license should not be revoked. In his response, Darshan argued that as a public figure, he attracts large crowds wherever he goes, necessitating the need for a pistol for self-defense.
The Bengaluru Police Administrative Division, which dismissed Darshan’s justification, temporarily suspended Darshan's gun license as a precautionary measure.
