Elamaram Kareem, the leader of the CPI(M) in the Rajya Sabha, Priyanka Chaturvedi of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction), Binoy Viswam of the CPI in the Rajya Sabha, Nama Nageswara Rao of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi in the Lok Sabha, K Keshava Rao of the BRS in the Rajya Saba.
Binoy Viswam, a member of the Communist Party of India, demanded a discussion on the Adani stock drop earlier today and served the Rajya Sabha Chairman with a notice suspending activity.
The CPI MP who served the notice under Rule 267 claimed that the Adani group crisis, which is presently in progress, puts the country's citizens' money at risk of "being wiped away."
"A huge amount of public funds owned by India's average citizens are in grave danger of disappearing due to the Adani group of firms' current financial difficulties. It is quite troubling that the Life Insurance Corporation of India (L1C), in which the Indian people place a great deal of trust by investing their hard-earned money, has a total holding of Rs 35,917.31 crore as of December 31, 2022 "the MP said.
Saying that about 40% f the loans to the Adani group have been provided by the country's largest public sector bank, SBI, Viswam said that the matter is of "urgent importance" citing the huge amount of public money involved.
