The political arena in India on Monday was lit up with allegations and counter allegation over three major issues, the Hindenburg row, the Kolkata trainee doctor rape-murder case and attempted rape on a minor girl in UP's Kannauj. Short-seller Hindenburg's recent accusation that the Sebi chief has a stake in offshore entities involved in the Adani 'scam' has put the NDA and the opposition bloc at loggerheads. While opposition parties demanded a JPC probe into the matter, the BJP accused Congress and its allies of joining hands with Hindenburg to malign the country's image. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi condemned the rape and murder case of a trainee doctor in West Bengal and said that she has appealed to the state government to ensure justice to the victim's family. Meanwhile, SP leader Nawab Singh Yadav was arrested by UP police for allegedly attempting to rape a minor girl. The Samajwadi Party, on the other hand has said that Yadav is not a member of the party. Thank you for tracking latest political updates with is today. For more political news, stay tuned to DH!
