Bhubaneswar: Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) on Sunday said and will gherao the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office here on August 22 as part of the nationwide protest on the Hindenburg Research’s latest allegations.
Congress leaders said that Hindenburg Research had, on August 10, accused SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch and her husband Dhaval Buch of having stakes in obscure offshore funds used in the alleged Adani money siphoning scandal.
The allegations have triggered a political slugfest with the Congress and other INDIA bloc parties demanding her removal and a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe, while the BJP accused the opposition of being a part of a conspiracy to create financial instability and chaos in India.
After a meeting at the Congress Bhavan in Bhubaneswar, senior leader Mohdammed Moquim said party leader Rahul Gandhi has been fighting to protect the country’s Constitution and democracy.
He appealed to all district presidents of Congress to participate in the agitation programme on August 22.
Notably, the AICC has assigned Moquim to coordinate the party’s protest in front of the ED office in Odisha capital. The senior leader is also past of the 14-member steering committee constituted by the AICC for Odisha.
