New Delhi:
Political analyst Tehseen Poonawala has said that the allegations leveled against Adani Group in America could be part of an international conspiracy. Poonawala said that no evidence has been provided regarding the alleged bribery transaction in the indent presented in America. He said that the names of Gautam Adani, Vineet Jain and Sagar Adani are not in this indenture. Poonawala said that there should be no political rhetoric on this issue. This will be in India’s interest. Poonawala said while talking to NDTV that the ports which Adani Group is acquiring are very important strategically.
Tehseen Poonawala from NDTV said that it is a matter to think as to why only Adani Group is being targeted. He said that the ports which Adani Group is acquiring are of great strategic importance. India will benefit from this. He said that targeting Adani Group could be an international conspiracy. Therefore, you should keep all aspects of this matter in mind. He said that the names of Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani and Vineet Adani are not there in this indent. Apart from this, no evidence has been given regarding giving bribe. In such a situation, this indenture (charge sheet) has no importance.
indenture without evidence
He said that the clarification from Adani Group is very important that the names of Gautam Adani, his nephew (Sagar Adani) and Vineet Jain are not in this case. This is very important. He said that I have read the indictment (charge sheet) presented in America. It is not even mentioned in it what kind of conspiracy and bribery this case is. Apart from this, there is no document given as to when and where this alleged bribery incident took place. You will have to prove that this corruption has taken place. The name of the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh is mentioned in it, but it is not told when and where the corruption took place.
Poonawala said that he does not think that this is a political issue. But if some questions arise then it is the right of the opposition to ask questions. But after the reply of Adani Group, the matter should end here. Poonawala termed it unfortunate that only Adani Group was targeted from Parliament to the streets. He said that now that the answer has come, I feel that industrialists should not be targeted like this. He said that there are some questions, after their answers come, this matter should be stopped here. This will be in India’s interest.
What has Adani Green Energy said
Actually, Adani Green Energy (AGEL) gave exchange filing information on Wednesday. It said that there are no charges under the US Foreign Corruption Act (FCPA) in the US Department of Justice (DoJ) charge sheet against Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani and senior executive Vineet Jain. The company has said that there will be no charges against Adani Group officials. The news published by various media groups on corruption allegations are also wrong.
