Last week, Sharad Pawar spoke in support of the Adani Group and criticized the narrative surrounding US short-seller Hindenburg Research’s report on the conglomerate. This stance was seen as not reflecting the issues that some opposition parties, including the Congress, have been pursuing, such as the demand for a joint parliamentary committee investigation into the Adani-Hindenburg row. On Tuesday, Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray and Sanjay Raut met with Pawar, but the topic of their hour-and-a-half-long discussion has not been disclosed to the media.
