Opposition Demands Parliamentary Panel Inquiry Into Hindenburg Charges
“We are working in people’s interest. We demand a discussion on the issue. We demand a joint parliamentary committee to probe it or an inquiry panel led by the Chief Justice of India that releases day to day report.” – Mallikarjun Kharge
“We have decided together that it is our aim to raise issue of the scams happening in the country in the Parliament. A suspension of business notice under rule 267 was given in Rajya Sabha to discuss the issue of investment by LIC, PSBs, and financial institutions in companies losing market value. But our notices are always rejected or not given time. So we had decided to raise the issue together. People’s investments are at risk, their funds are being given to a certain company. Hindenburg has released a report on one such company whose shares have fallen.”
