There will be no sitting of Parliament on Tuesday due to commemoration of the 75th anniversary of adoption of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly, and both the Houses will now meet on Wednesday morning.

Opposition MPs in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha used the first opportunity they got to raise the Adani issue and demand an immediate discussion on the issue by suspending the rules of the respective Houses but were rejected by the presiding officers.

As MPs protested the decision, the House was adjourned till Wednesday.

“The ‘Modani’ issue rocked both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha today. I.N.D.I.A. parties called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigation into the Modani scam – the case for which has been reinforced by the recent indictments of Adani’s bribery and suppression of information from Indian and American regulators,” Congress Rajya Sabha leader Jairam Ramesh posted on ‘X’.
