The Congress would launch a national campaign around various issues including the demand for resignation of the SEBI chief and constituting a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) to probe the link between the market regulator SEBI and the Adani Group.

This was decided in a meeting of AICC general secretaries, in-charges and Pradesh Congress Committee presidents, held here on Tuesday, under the chairmanship of party chief Mallikarjun Kharge.

“The shocking revelations of nexus between SEBI and Adani needs to a thorough investigation. The money of small investors in the stock market can’t be jeopardised. Modi Govt must immediately seek the resignation of SEBI chairperson and constitute a JPC in this regard”, Kharge said in a message posted by him on the X after the meeting.

“The pressing issues of unemployment and uncontrolled inflation and depletion of household savings are our focus. The poor and middle class have been betrayed”, Kharge further wrote.

Kharge wrote that continued attack on the Constitution by the BJP and the demand for a caste census would also prominently feature in the campaign.

The Congress would continue its fight in demanding legal guarantee of MSP for farmers.

The Agnipath Scheme imposed on our patriotic youth must be scrapped, Kharge wrote underscoring two more important demands raised by the party.

“Train derailments have become a norm, as crores of passengers suffer. Climate related disasters and collapsing infrastructure is also a cause of concern”, the Congress chief said, adding that a nationwide protest is being planned by the party around these demands.
