India’s opposition stepped up pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his links with tycoon Gautam Adani and both houses of parliament were adjourned for a second day over raucous demands for a parliamentary investigation in the stock rout in his companies.
The main opposition Congress party is also planning nationwide protests Monday to highlight the risks to millions of small investors because of the exposure of state-owned institutions in Adani’s businesses.
