New Delhi: Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday criticised Adani Group, calling for the arrest of its chairman, Gautam Adani, over allegations of financial irregularities.
Speaking to the media, Rahul Gandhi highlighted what he termed as “double standards” in the government’s approach to law enforcement, alleging that people accused of minor offenses are arrested while Adani remains free despite serious allegations against him.

“You think Adani is going to accept the charges? Obviously, he is going to deny them. The point is that he has to be arrested as we have said. Hundreds of people are being arrested on tiny charges, and the gentleman (Gautam Adani), who has been indicted in the United States for thousands of crores, should be in jail. Instead, the government is protecting him,” Rahul Gandhi said.
The Congress leader’s remarks come amidst row surrounding Adani Group, which has faced scrutiny following allegations of financial misconduct in reports by international investigative organizations. Rahul Gandhi accused the government of shielding Adani from accountability, pointing out that similar allegations in the past have resulted in action against others but not against the industrialist.
