Congress criticizes SHANTI Bill passage, citing benefits for Trump and Adani

The SHANTI Bill, allowing private companies into India's civil nuclear sector, was passed in Parliament. The Congress alleges it was "bulldozed" to benefit specific entities. The opposition party claims the legislation was pushed through to benefit both former US President Trump and the Adani Group, suggesting a quid pro quo for private sector entry. The bill aims to make India self-reliant in nuclear energy, but the Congress expressed concerns about prioritizing private firms over public sector undertakings and indigenous technology.
