Days after his opposition to JPC probe, Adani meets Sharad Pawar

Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani met with NCP chief Sharad Pawar to discuss the Hindenburg Research report?s allegations of financial malpractices and stock manipulation by the company. Pawar recently opposed a JPC probe into the matter. The meeting comes amid speculations of a split in the NCP due to Ajit Pawar's alleged insistence on joining hands with the BJP.

In a recent interview to NDTV, NCP chief Sharad Pawar not only opposed a JPC probe but also said that the report seemed to target an individual industrial group of the country. In fact, the Supreme Court-appointed panel would be more effective than a JPC, which would likely have more members from the ruling BJP, he said. (ANI)
