Against the backdrop of the controversy about the Adani Group over allegations of financial irregularities and market manipulation, Congress has called for nationwide protests outside State Bank of India (SBI) branches and Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) offices on Monday. The party’s youth wing is also slated to organise a demonstration on the issue in Delhi outside the banks located at Parliament police station. While Congress MPs will protest near the Gandhi statue inside Parliament, as per news agency ANI. The announcement came a day after Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said the party will stage a nationwide protest in front of LIC and SBI offices across the country on February 6. In Parliament, the Opposition alleged that the recent fluctuation in Adani Group shares is a scam that involves common people’s money as public sector LIC and SBI have invested in them.
