Manish Tewari writes to BJP MP Jayant Sinha

Congress MP and member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, Manish Tewari, writes to BJP MP Jayant Sinha, Chairperson of the Committee, to suggest that the "Committee should forthwith examine allegations against Adani Group made by Hindenburg Research". 

The letter suggests that the Committee summon SEBI & RBI, officials from LIC, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs & other regulatory bodies "to ascertain whether there were any failures on their part on the Adani issue."

The letter has also been signed by Congress MPs and members Gaurav Gogoi & Pramod Tiwari. 

"We find it surprising that this Committee is prepared to have a hearing on the recent SVB bank-run. The said bank is based in California and has little to no effect on the regulatory mechanisms of our country. Yet the Committee is unwilling to have a discussion on the Adani affair which struck a blow to investor confidence in our own capital market," reads the letter.
