'Jo Darte Hain...': Congress President Kharge Says Centre Afraid Of JPC On Adani Issue. WATCH

Mallikarjun Kharge claimed the reason behind no JPC so far was that the Centre is afraid of the outcome.

Parliament Budget Session: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday addressed the media after a ruckus by the opposition leaders halted the proceedings of Parliament. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 4 PM and  2 PM respectively. Kharge charged at PM Modi saying that 'he is destroying the democracy bit by bit'.

Kharge recalled all the questions that Rahul Gandhi raised in the Lok Sabha on the Adani issue. He asked why the Centre was afraid of constituting a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to conduct a probe into the Adani issue. Kharge claimed the reason behind no JPC so far was that the Centre is afraid of the outcome and 'Jo darte hain wo kabi na kabhi marte bhi hai (those who fear, definitely die someday)'.

He said, "Why are we here in black clothes? We want to show that PM Modi is ending democracy in the country. He first finished autonomous bodies, then they put up their own govt everywhere by threatening those who had won polls. Then they used ED, CBI to use bend those who didn't bow."

Congress-led opposition parties on Monday took out a march from the Gandhi statue in Parliament demanding a JPC probe in Adani issue and over the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi as Lok Sabha MP.

Mallikarjun Kharge said that Rahul Gandhi asked PM Modi why he takes Adani with him, why he allows him to meet other leaders and the business community when on tour, and how Adani reaches where the Prime Minister has an official visit. Kharge alleged that the Centre was fearful of answering these questions and instead chose to disqualify Rahul Gandhi to save itself.

Kharge took a jibe at the Centre and said that JPC will eventually have more members from the ruling dispensation and still they are afraid of it. He claimed that all parties have come together to ask for the JPC on it.
