TMC MP Mahua Moitra on Tuesday made a scathing attack on Adani-PM Modi following the Hindenburg report and said that the billionaire businessman has taken the country for a ride.
While participating in the debate on the 바카라Motion of Thanks to the President바카라s Address바카라 in Lok Sabha, Moitra, without naming Adani, said that a famous person whose name starts with 바카라A바카라 and ends with 바카라I바카라 and is not Advani, who stinks of crony capitalism, had duped everyone.
Soon after she concluded her speech, there were angry exchanges between Trinamool Congress (TMC) and BJP members. Moitra was heard using certain objectionable words to which the Chair objected and urged members to avoid cuss words.
Mahua Moitra used unparliamentary language for BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri. Following this, BJP MPs demanded her to apologise.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi asked Moitra to apologise out of morality and said if she does not it would reflect on her culture.
The Krishnanagar MP concluded her speech by demanding a thorough investigation into the alleged irregularities in Adani Group.
Moitra brought two birthday caps in the House to press her argument that the businessman being most talked about had befooled the government.
Beginning her address by quoting from President Droupadi Murmu바카라s address, Moitra said, 바카라Every word I utter is going to be an oblation and offering a truth into my 바카라maha yagna바카라 of nation building.바카라 바카라I want to start off by saying as an ex-investment banker, I want companies to thrive. But I want honest, hardworking Indian companies to strive and not trapeze artists. As an MP colleague of mine likes to say the Chair always asked me not to get angry. I will not be angry for what I have to say. I will only say that we바카라ve all been fooled,바카라 she said.
Referring to a statement by the Adani group in which it had said that short-seller Hindenburg바카라s report was a calculated attack on India, she said, 바카라The pride of India is not the wealth of one individual, pride of India lies in the robustness of its institutional structures.바카라 She said a company which is in infrastructure makes five to 15 per cent returns if they are lucky and if they get everything right, but the multiple with which this company 바카라A바카라 was trading was absolutely outrageous.
Even Google, Amazon and Microsoft don바카라t trade on such multiples, she said.
바카라This man has been allowed to use LIC, SBI to get money as and when he likes,바카라 she said.
바카라India is on its way to becoming the third largest economy in the world. Don바카라t let him smear your time in government, with a stink of crony capitalism. Please immediately order a full complete and thorough investigation into all matters바카라Our country바카라s reputation is at risk,바카라 Moitra said.
She also said the House too has historically seen some of the greatest debates, some friendly, some not-so-friendly sparring matches.
바카라But it is more and less a sacred place where elected representatives could speak their minds without fear of favour바카라Today and I say this with a heavy heart, Lok Sabha is a space which stands out more for what cannot be said in this hall, than for what can we say. The list of unmentionables is actually far longer than the list of mentionables,바카라 she claimed.
바카라We cannot say China, we cannot say Pegasus, we can not say BBC, we cannot say Morbi, we cannot say Rafael, and sometimes we cannot even say Modi ji바카라,바카라 she said.
The opposition has been demanding a joint parliamentary committee probe or a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into the allegations of fraud and manipulation made by the US-based short seller Hindenburg Research against billionaire Gautam Adani바카라s companies that triggered an unprecedented stock crash. The group has denied the charges.
The opposition parties have alleged that the meltdown in Adani Group shares is a 바카라mega scam바카라 that involves common people바카라s money as public sector LIC and SBI have invested in them and have questioned the government on steps taken by it.
