The Congress party staged simultaneous protests in the state capitals of Nagaland and Manipur, demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigation into what they termed the “MODANI Mega Scam.” The protests, held in Kohima and Imphal, called for the immediate removal of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairperson and a thorough investigation into the alleged financial irregularities involving the Adani Group.
In Nagaland, the protest was spearheaded by S Supongmeren Jamir, President of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) and Member of Parliament. He was joined by senior Congress leaders, along with members of the IYC, NSUI, and other Congress-affiliated organizations.
In Manipur, the protest was led by Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President Meghachandra K, alongside MLA and former Chief Minister of Manipur Okram Ibobi Singh, and Congress Working Committee (CWC) Member and former Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam. The demonstration saw participation from various top leaders of the Congress party, including members of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC), National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), Mahila Congress, and Seva Dal.
Protesters carried banners and placards with slogans such as “We demand JPC on Modi-Adani mega scam,” “Remove SEBI Chairperson,” “Investigate Adani transactions,” and “What is the relation between PM Modi and Adani?” The demonstrators voiced their concerns about the alleged undue influence of corporate entities on the government and the regulatory body SEBI.
The Congress party also raised questions about the integrity of SEBI, demanding the resignation of its Chairperson to restore public trust. They questioned the relationship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Adani Group, asking why the PM was allegedly shielding the SEBI Chairperson despite the growing controversy.
Both protests concluded with a call for the immediate convening of a JPC to investigate the MODANI Mega Scam and to reveal the source of the Rs 20,000 crore invested in Adani Group companies. The Congress has vowed to continue their agitation until their demands are met.
