Mumbai, 7/4: NCP supremo Sharad Pawar on Friday surprised his colleagues in the Opposition with a spirited defence of the Adani Group through an interview in a news channel owned by the conglomerate and stopped short of ridiculing the demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into it.
Pawar, whose party has kept away from the Opposition protests on Adani that included a joint complaint to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against the group, however, batted for Opposition unity even as it questioned the Hindenburg report and expressed displeasure over disruptions in Parliament over the issue.
