Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee to investigate Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah’s alleged involvement in a 2024 stock market scam.
Rahul Gandhi, senior leader of the Indian National Congress, publicly demanded the formation of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to examine the alleged participation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah in a stock market scam that surfaced in 2024. The call was reported by The Economic Times, which noted Gandhi’s emphasis on parliamentary oversight of financial irregularities.
A JPC is a parliamentary body that can summon officials, collect evidence and submit a detailed report to both houses of Parliament. Such committees have previously been set up to investigate high‑profile matters, ranging from financial scandals to policy failures. Gandhi argued that a similar mechanism is essential to ensure transparency and accountability in the current case.
The demand comes amid growing public scrutiny of market volatility and allegations of insider advantage. While the government has not yet responded, political analysts suggest that the proposal could trigger a formal inquiry if supported by a majority in Parliament. The Economic Times has not provided further details on any immediate steps taken by the ruling party.
