NEW DELHI — India's parliament was disrupted for a third day on Thursday by opposition parties protesting the government's silence over allegations against billionaire Gautam Adani, who was recently indicted in the United States for alleged fraud and a scheme to pay bribes.
As Speaker Om Birla convened the legislature's powerful lower house, opposition members shot up from their seats and crowded the aisles, shouting anti-government slogans. The Indian National Congress and other opposition parties have accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government of protecting the industrialist.
