The BJP denied the Congress' demand for a JPC probe into Hindenburg's allegation against the SEBI chairperson, saying it is a sham with an eye on weakening the Indian economy and destroying investment in the country.
BJP leader and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad reiterated that the short-selling firm's charge and the opposition's criticism of the market regulator are part of a wider conspiracy. Taking a dig at Congress over the Hindenburg Report, Ravi Shankar Prasad said the Congress party, its allies, and the toolkit gang have conspired together to usher in economic anarchy and instability in India.’ He said that grand old party wanted India to be deprived of foreign investments. Former Union minister added that he was proud that the Indian stock market remained strong even after the Hindenburg report.
Former Union minister Ravi Shankar alleged that the Congress in their ‘hatred’ against Prime Minister Narendra Modi has developed ‘hatred against India itself’. He called Rahul Gandhi ‘Soros agent,' and claimed that the Hidenburg report was a Congress-backed conspiracy to stop investments in India.
At the press conference, the BJP MP also slammed the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal over the rape and murder of a doctor at a state-run hospital, alleging that it was trying to cover up. He said the state government should hand over the probe.
