Indian parliament chaos: Opposition demands answers about coal tycoon case
Indian parliament faces third straight day of disorder as opposition demands explanation about billionaireʼs US legal troubles. Governmentʼs silence over Adani case triggers heated protests in Delhi
The lower house of Indias Parliament turned into a scene of disorder this month‚ as opposition members staged their third consecutive day of protests. The disruption happened right after Om Birla tried to start the days session; protesters quickly filled-up the chambers center space while chanting anti-establishment slogans
At the heart of this political stand-off lies the case of Gautam Adani — a coal-industry magnate whoʼs gotten into hot water with US authorities (they say he was involved in fraud and paying-off officials). The opposition‚ led by the Congress party claims that Narendra Modiʼs government is providing cover for the business-man‚ refusing to address multiple questions about his activities
The situation has created a major road-block in parliamentary work: with protesters demanding clear answers and the ruling party keeping its distance from the whole thing. The demonstrators dont show any signs of backing down‚ making normal legislative work near-impossible
