Pawar to back Adani JPC if ‘entire opposition’ wants it

NAGPUR/AMRAVATI: NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday said he won’t oppose a joint parliamentary committee probe into the Gautam Adani-Hindenburg issue if the “entire opposition” wants it. Pawar, whom Adani had met on April 20, was in Amravati to attend an event organized by NCP’s agriculture graduates cell, reports Abhishek Choudhari and Anil Jadhav.
“My opinion is that JPC is not a solution for it (Adani controversy). What I had said earlier was that the Supreme Court has already appointed a committee to look into the matter. However, other opposition parties are demanding a JPC probe. If everyone wants it, then I will not oppose it, rather will go along with them,” said Pawar.
On the political rumblings, specifically about rumours that the BJP is trying to wean away Ajit Pawar from NCP, the senior Pawar he chose to refrain from stokingthe controversy further.
