New Delhi: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Friday came in support of industrialist Gautam Adani on the Adani-Hindenburg row. Notably, Pawar’s views are contrary to the Opposition’s take on the issue. The Opposition, especially the Congress is targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Adani over the Hindenburg’s report.
In an interview with NDTV, the NCP president said that undue importance was given to the issue. “Such statements were given by other individuals too earlier and there was a ruckus in parliament for a few days but this time out of proportion importance was given to the issue. The issues that were kept, who kept them, we had never heard of these people who gave the statement, what is the background,” Pawar told NDTV.
Taking a dig at other opposition parties, Pawar said that the ruckus caused over issue was “targeted”. The NCP chief told the media house, “When they raise issues that cause a ruckus across the country, the cost is borne by the country’s economy, we cannot disregard these things. It seems this was targeted.”
