Kanwal Sibal, the former Foreign Secretary of India, has strongly criticized a report from a US government department regarding the Adani Group, describing it as a violation of India's sovereignty. Sibal condemned the US for overstepping its bounds, arguing that any investigation conducted on Indian soil by US authorities would breach Indian law. He emphasized that if the US had evidence of illegal activity, it should have shared its findings with Indian authorities instead of taking unilateral action. He also accused the US of double standards, citing corruption within its own political system and the undue influence of large corporations on its governance.

Sibal warned that such actions could have a negative impact on India-US relations, stressing that the US must respect the sovereignty of other nations. The Adani Group, for its part, has denied the allegations, calling them baseless and reiterating its commitment to upholding high standards of governance and compliance. The company assured that it would pursue all legal avenues to address the issue.
