The Congress posed a set of three questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as part of its ‘Hum Adani ke Hain Kaun’ series
The Congress on Monday alleged that a Chinese national played a "dubious role" in the Adani Group's activities and asked the government if it was not concerned that the conglomerate may be involving that person in important defence contracts.
The Opposition party also claimed that shortly after allegations of corruption appeared, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government took proactive action against Agusta Westland's parent company Finmeccanica (later Leonardo), but on November 14, 2021, the government abruptly lifted its ban on the firm.
It asked why the ban was lifted on a company accused of bribery and corruption when the case was still pending.
The Congress is persisting with its attack on the government weeks after Adani Group stocks took a beating on the bourses after U.S.-based short seller Hindenburg Research made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share-price manipulation.
The Gautam Adani-led group has dismissed the charges as lies, saying it complied with all laws and disclosure requirements.
