We request them to let the House function," he said.Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi denied having any connection between the government and the Adani stock row."There is absolutely no connection with it.

Adani has the protection of PM Modi," Singh alleged.Mallikarjun Kharge, ahead of the joint meeting of Opposition parties said, "We have called the meeting of the Opposition party. We will discuss the steps to be taken further.
