Congress objects to solar park in Gujarat a day after British portal The Guardian says India’s Khavda energy park is problematic because ‘it is close to Pakistan border’

> On Thursday, 13 February, Congress MP Manickam Tagore gave notice to move a motion for the adjournment of the Business of the House in the Lok Sabha to discuss the relaxation of “National Security Protocols” for the Khavda Renewable Energy Project in Gujarat along the India- Pakistan border. > > In his notice, Tagore said, “The Khavda Renewable Energy Park Project, led by the Adani Group, is situated just one km from the sensitive India-Pakistan border in the Rann of Kutch, a region with a history of conflicts between the two nations.” > > Tagore’s notice even claims that the Modi government neglected and went against military officers to steamroll this project. > “The government went so far as to create exceptions for this project, and potentially others, near India’s borders with Pakistan, China, Nepal, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. This is a direct assault on the integrity of military advice and national security protocols. The Modi government’s cronyism, with its clear favouritism toward the Adani Group, is a threat to the sovereignty of our nation. The decision to award such a high-risk project to Adani raises severe concerns about conflicts of interest and transparency in governance,” he said. > > The claims made by Congress are indeed concerning, not because what they are claiming, because Congress has been claiming that the BJP government does not take India’s military interests seriously for years. And the entire country knows that it is not a serious claim, at least when it comes from Congress, because generations of Indians have witnessed first hand how serious Congress was about India’s military and strategic interests. > > What is problematic here, is that Congress seems to be taking orders from London. > > Congress party’s adjournment motion has been brought a day after British news portal The Guardian, known for its anti-India bias, published an ‘exclusive’ article full of speculations, unnamed sources and whisper-mongering about how the Khavda solar energy plant, planned to be the world’s largest renewable energy plant, is bad. > > The reason that The Guardian has cited to claim the Khava energy plant is bad, is that it is ‘close to Pakistan border’. Another reason is that it is being built by Adani. They have no reason to claim Adani is bad, but they insinuate it anyway because we just have to trust them to tell us which political party and which company is good or bad because “trust me bro”. Substantiation is not needed when it is a British portal preaching sermons about good and evil to Indians. https://www.opindia.com/2025/02/congress-objects-to-solar-park-rann-of-kutch-after-british-media-says-india-khavda-energy-park-problematic-because-pakistan-border/
