Parliament Protests Take 'Rosy' Turn As Rahul Gandhi Gives Red Rose To Rajnath Singh — Watch

This is the latest in a series of unusual daily demonstrations led by the Congress over the Adani issue. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, MPs from the Congress, DMK stood in front of the Makar Dwar steps.

Parliament Session Updates: Protests on Parliament premises took a break on Wednesday as Opposition MPs, led by Rahul Gandhi, gave roses and tricolour to their BJP counterparts. The Opposition MPs urged the ruling party members to ensure that the House functions and all issues, including the Adani matter, are discussed. Rahul Gandhi has sought Adani's immediate arrest.

This is the latest in a series of unusual daily demonstrations led by the Congress over the Adani issue. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, MPs from the Congress, DMK, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and the Left parties stood in front of the Makar Dwar steps.

However, some members also carried placards with slogans 'Don't let the country be sold'.

The Congress has said Adani's indictment "vindicates" its demand for a JPC probe into the various "scams" involving the billionaire industrialist's conglomerate. The Adani Group has dismissed all allegations as "baseless".

This comes a day after MPs carried dark blue 'jholas' with caricatures of PM Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani printed on one side and "Modi-Adani Bhai-Bhai" written on the obverse.

Leaders of some INDIA bloc parties on Monday protested in the Parliament complex over the Adani row, with Rahul Gandhi conducting a mock "interview" over the issue with Congress members wearing masks of Modi and Adani.

The opposition protests on the Adani issue have been taking place in the Parliament complex since the start of the Winter session.

The Congress and some other opposition parties have been demanding a JPC probe following the indictment of Adani and other company officials in a US court.
