BJP Accuses Rahul Gandhi Of Speaking The Language Of George Soros In The Hindenburg Matter

Aug 13, 2024, 02:48 PM IST

BJP launched a scathing attack on the Congress for relying on US short-seller Hindenburg's latest charges against Sebi, saying the party is conspiring with foreign forces to destablise India's economy. In a press conference, BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad said that Hindenburg's latest report was released on Saturday. "They (the opposition) raised this issue aggressively on Sunday so that the Indian stock market can take a hit," he said. The US short-seller has alleged that Sebi did not investigate Adani Group as its chairperson Madhabi Puru Buch had offshore investments in funds linked to the Indian conglomerate. The Adani Group, Sebi, and Buch issued separate statements, rejecting the charges. The Congress has demanded a probe by the JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee) into the latest charges by Hindenburg. However, Prasad said that when Hindenburg came out with its first report in January last year, a legal process was followed. "Rahul Gandhi who talks about JPC should have taken part in the legal process," he said. "SEBI has sent a notice to Hindenburg but instead of responding to the notice, Hindenburg is making baseless allegations," the BJP leader said, adding that the market regulator and its chairperson have given proper reply.

BJP Accuses Hindenburg, Congress of Economic Anarchy; Defends SEBI's Market Stability Efforts

Aug 12, 2024, 05:05 PM IST

In response to the recent Hindenburg Research report, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad accused the Congress party and its allies of conspiring to create economic instability in India. He stated, "After being rebuffed by the people of India, the Congress party, its allies, and the toolkit gang have conspired together to usher in economic anarchy and instability in India." He highlighted the strategic timing of the report's release on Saturday, followed by an uproar on Sunday, aimed at destabilizing the capital market on Monday. Emphasizing India's status as a safe, stable, and promising market, Prasad reiterated SEBI's legal responsibility to ensure market stability. He pointed out that SEBI had issued a notice to Hindenburg after completing its inquiry under the Supreme Court's supervision in July. However, instead of responding to the notice, Hindenburg launched what Prasad described as a baseless attack. Prasad criticized Rahul Gandhi and Congress for demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigation without participating in the legal process. He affirmed that SEBI and its chairperson had provided a proper reply to the allegations, emphasising the importance of following due legal procedures to address such issues.
