In light of the allegations made against SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch in the Hindenburg Report, Congress has renewed its criticism of the central government. On September 2, 2024, Congress held a press conference to raise concerns and pose several questions to the Narendra Modi administration.
Pawan Khera, the Chairman of Congress’ Media and Publicity Department, addressed the media, stating, “The money we invest in the market is regulated by SEBI, but who appoints the SEBI Chairperson? It is done through Amit Shah’s ministry, even though the appointment is made by the Cabinet Committee on Appointments, which includes the Prime Minister and Home Minister Amit Shah. These two members are responsible for appointing the SEBI Chairperson.”
