New Delhi: The Congress's Delhi unit leaders and members protested here on Thursday, calling for the resignation of SEBI chief Madhabi Buch and the formation of a joint parliamentary committee to look into the Adani issue.
Devender Yadav, the head of the Delhi Congress, Kanhaiya Kumar, Udit Raj, and senior leader Sachin Pilot were among those who attended the protest at the Jantar Mantar.
The Congress wants an impartial investigation into the matter, Pilot said.
The opposition party has stepped up its attack on the government after Hindenburg Research launched a fresh broadside against market regulator SEBI chairperson Madhabi Buch, claiming she and her husband had stakes in obscure offshore funds used in the alleged Adani money siphoning scandal.
Buch and her husband have denied the allegations levelled against them as baseless and asserted that their finances are an open book.
The Adani Group has also termed Hindenburg Research's latest allegations as malicious and manipulative of select public information, saying it has no commercial relationship with the SEBI chairperson or her husband.
