In a letter, they have drawn AG's notice to ‘questionable decisions’ made by Department of Justice under Joe Biden while highlighting the case against the Adani Group.
Congressman Lance Gooden demanded answers on the selective prosecution of foreign entities & the potential harm such actions pose to US’s global alliances.
The BJP has also accused Gandhi, the OCCRP & 92-year-old billionaire financier-philanthropist George Soros of singling out the Adani Group & its closeness to the Modi government.
This is significant since US said SECI was having trouble finding buyers for Adani & Azure solar power due to high rates. The firms then allegedly promised bribes to state govt officials.
U.S. International Development Finance Corporation has not reached a final agreement on the loan, an official with the agency said in an email to Bloomberg.
Under the proposedb airport deal, Adani Group was to add a second runway and upgrade the passenger terminal at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, with a 30-year lease in exchange.
Allegations by Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) come on the heels of US-based Hindenburg accusing Adani Group of improper business dealings earlier this year.
Non-profit Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project says its investigation found 2 cases where investors bought & sold Adani stock via offshore structures.
SEBI, on 29 April 29, had sought 6 months to complete its probe, rather than 2 months. However, the Supreme Court said on Friday it was inclined to give a three-month extension.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
