Leaders of several opposition parties in a press conference demanded a probe into the allegations raised against the Adani Group by US short-seller firm Hindenburg and said the issue is "endangering the hard-earned money of crores of Indians."

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said the Opposition has given the suspension of Business Notice in Parliament under rule 267 to discuss the issue of investment by LIC, Public Sector Banks and financial institutions in Adani Group companies losing market value.

"We wanted a discussion on that. Our notices get rejected. When we raise important issues, no time is given for discussion. Money of poor people is there in LIC, SBI and other national banks and it is being given to selected companies," Kharge said. 

"Either a joint parliamentary committee or a team under the supervision of the CJI of the Supreme Court should investigate this," he added.
