Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge on the Congress party's demand for a discussion the Adani issue. "We wanted a discussion on that. Our notices get rejected. When we raise important issues, no time is given for discussion on them. Money of poor people is there in LIC, SBI and other national banks & it is being given to selected companies.

"Either a Joint Parliamentary Committee or a team under the supervision of the CJI of Supreme Court should investigate this.

"We have also given the suspension of Business Notice under rule 267 to discuss the issue of investment by LIC, Public Sector Banks and financial institutions in companies losing market value, endangering the hard-earned money of crores of Indians."

Leaders of several opposition parties met in the Parliament complex Thursday morning to evolve a joint strategy to take on the central government during the Budget Session and decided to seek a discussion on the Adani Group issue.

Leaders of like-minded parties met in the chamber of Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, and discussed the issues that are to be brought up during the session which began on January 31.

Sources said the parties decided to jointly raise the Adani Group crisis in Parliament and demand a discussion on it.

Leaders of the Congress, DMK, TMC, SP, JD(U), Shiv Sena, CPI(M), CPI, NCP, IUML, NC, AAP and the Kerala Congress were present at the meeting.

Kharge said the like-minded parties would have better coordination during the session to unitedly raise issues of public importance.
