“We submitted a memorandum to the Governor demanding an investigation into the financial scams, fraud and money laundering linked to Adani. We also raised concerns over the Manipur crisis, which remains unresolved even after 18 months,” he added.
Saha attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his silence on the Manipur issue.
“The Prime Minister has neither visited Manipur nor addressed the issue in Parliament, despite the severity of the situation,” he said.
Saha said the Congress has been urging Governors nationwide to press the Centre for a thorough investigation into the allegations against Gautam Adani and prompt action to restore peace and normalcy in Manipur.
