Washington, Feb 11 (IANS) Six US lawmakers have written a strongly worded letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding a probe into the previous Department of Justice's (DoJ) indictment of Adani Group officials.The six US lawmakers - Lance Gooden, Pat Fallon, Mike Haridopolos, Brandon Gill, William R Timmons and Brian Babin - said in the letter that the DoJ's action was a "misguided crusade" that came at the "risk of harming" America's relationship with a "strategic geopolitical partner" like India. "This case rests on the allegation that preparations were made by members of this company in India to bribe Indian officials, also exclusively located in India. Instead of deferring the case to the appropriate Indian authorities, the Biden DoJ decided to push forward and indict the company's executives without any real injury to US interests being present," the Congressmen wrote in the letter. According to them, there was "no compelling reason" to pursue a case in a manner that could complicate relations with an ally like India, unless some external factors were at play.
