‘How can this govt be part of probe into itself’: Cong’s dig at MEA response on Adani issue

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday took a swipe over the Ministry of External Affairs’ statement that the Indian government is not part of the US probe into Adani Group in any manner, asking how can this government be part of a probe into itself.

In the first official reaction after the industrialist was charged with alleged fraud by prosecutors in the United States, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India is yet to receive any communication for cooperation in the case.

The Indian government is not part of the matter in any manner at this point of time, he said.
