Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar, an ally of the Congress in Maharashtra, has given a different opinion from the leaders of the opposition on the Adani case. Sharad Pawar said in an interview on Friday (April 7) that he believes the Adani group is being "targeted" by unknown entities. Not only this, Sharad Pawar also questioned the intentions of these institutions targeting Adani.
The opposition stalled the Parliament under the leadership of Congress:
In an interview, Sharad Pawar distanced himself from the Congress's demand for a JPC probe into the US short-selling firm Hindenburg Report, saying he did not agree with the Congress-led opposition stalling Parliament over the matter. The NCP chief said that this time the issue was given more importance than was required. What is the background of the issues raised, who raised them, and who are these people (Hindenburg) who made the statements—we have never heard of them? When they raise issues that create a ruckus across the country, the country's economy has to pay the price for it. We cannot ignore these things. It seems the attack on Adani was targeted.

No need for JPC in the Adani case:
Sharad Pawar further said that a demand was made to investigate the Adani case, and the Supreme Court took the initiative and appointed a committee, comprising retired apex court judges, experts, administrators, and economists. He said the Supreme Court committee has been given directions, given a time limit, and asked to submit the inquiry report. He said that the opposition wanted a parliamentary committee (JPC) inquiry into the issue, and the BJP has a majority in the parliament. He said that this demand was against the ruling party. The committee to investigate the ruling party will have a majority of members from the ruling party. There can be apprehension about how the truth will come out. But if the Supreme Court investigates the matter, where there is no implication, the truth has a better chance of coming out.

Congress isolated Savarkar too:
Let us tell you that earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was making statements about Veer Savarkar in press conferences. But Congress's ally Shiv Sena (Uddhav) dealt him a blow on this matter. Uddhav Thackeray and Sanjay Raut had said that Veer Savarkar is an inspiration for us and that his insult will not be tolerated. At the same time, Sharad Pawar had said that Savarkar's contribution to the country cannot be forgotten and that such comments should not be made on him. Along with this, Sharad Pawar had also forbidden Rahul to speak abusively about Savarkar. On the other hand, on the Adani issue, Karnataka Congress leaders themselves have said that the way Rahul is repeatedly raising the issue of Adani, it will turn into a Modi versus Rahul Gandhi contest in the Karnataka elections, and this will harm the Congress. Some Karnataka Congress leaders say that Rahul Gandhi was asked not to speak subordinately in the Adani case. That is, now Congress leaders and party allies are asking Rahul Gandhi to remain silent in some matters. In such a situation, the people of the opposition are taking a jibe by saying that Rahul Gandhi will now allege that he is not allowed to speak even in the Congress, as he has done in the Parliament.
