Adani meets Pawar for nearly two hours

Mumbai : Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani met NCP chief Sharad Pawar at the latter’s Silver Oak residence in Mumbai on Thursday for nearly two hours, said media reports.
The meeting follows Pawar’s recent statement to a news channel that he is not opposed to a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the charges made by Hindenburg Research against the Adani Group, but a Supreme Court committee will be more useful and effective.
Hindenburg has alleged stock manipulation and accounting fraud in firms belonging to billionaire Adani.
Pawar had said if a JPC has 21 members, 15 will be from the ruling party and six from the opposition due to numerical strength in Parliament, which will create doubts on the panel.
He said the apex court decided to appoint a panel of retired Supreme Court judges with a direction of submitting the report in a specific time period.
