NEW DELHI: Amid the allegations that Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra had asked questions in Parliament to target a business entity, the Adani group on Monday said some groups and individuals have been “working overtime to harm the company’s name, goodwill and market standing”.
“In this particular case, the lawyer’s complaint reveals that this arrangement to besmirch the reputation and interests of the Adani group and our chairman Gautam Adani has been in place since 2018,” the group said in a statement.
On Sunday, a lawyer, Jai Anant Dehadrai, had filed a complaint with the CBI alleging an “elaborate criminal conspiracy” by Moitra and Darshan Hiranandani, CEO of Hiranandani group, for “specifically targeting” Gautam Adani and his group of companies through parliamentary questions. He had also alleged that Moitra had received “bribes and undue favours” from Hiranandani.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking an enquiry against Moitra. Moitra and the Hiranandani group have denied any wrongdoing.
The Adani group said that on October 9, it had issued a media statement and said that “some foreign entities like the OCCRP, supported by a section of the foreign media, short-sellers and domestic collaborators, have launched a series of attacks against the Adani group with the primary intent of dragging down its market value”.
“In fact, these individuals and groups, bound by the common objective of damaging the Adani group, have developed a playbook which is being executed to perfection by a well-oiled and professional machinery working in sync both within India and abroad,” it said, adding that one tactic in their playbook included putting out media reports with “an uncanny ability to appear just before the hearing dates of important cases in India’s courts”.
