Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has alleged “complicity” by the Centre in the decision to allow a “special visa waiver” to Chinese workers to disembark from their ship for offloading cranes at the Vizhinjam port. The permission given to the Chinese workers was in “total violation” of security guidelines, he said on Friday.
“Has the PM elevated his close friends to the status of a super-state? Why are Chinese workers being allowed to work illegally for a firm that has been linked to global money-laundering networks operated by Adani associates like Chang Chung-Ling and Nasser Ali Shaban Ahli?” Mr. Ramesh said in a post on X.
