Congress wants Adani arrrested immediatley

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has urged the Centre to immediately take action against billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, following his indictment in the US in a bribery case.

Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government of shielding Adani, he said the Congress will raise the issue during the upcoming Parliament session and demand an inquiry into the charges.

"We will raise the issue in the Parliament and we will demand an inquiry. As he (Adani) is in India, action should be taken against him, he should be arrested. The government knows everything, so they should quickly take action against him in corruption cases," Kharge told reporters in Bengaluru.
