The <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/adani-is-a-symbol-of-corruption-says-rahul-gandhi-targeting-pm-23281284" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Congress</a> on Sunday attacked the Centre after a court in Antigua and Barbuda reportedly ordered that fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi cannot be removed from the Caribbean country, alleging that this happened due to the government's "negligence".
The opposition party also alleged that "repeated negligence" shows that this is being done "intentionally".
According to media reports, a court in Antigua and Barbuda has ruled in favour of Choksi, wanted in a Rs 13,000-crore scam in the Punjab National Bank, ordering that he cannot be removed from that country.
In a tweet in Hindi, Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh said, "Modi ji's 'Mehul Bhai' has been enjoying abroad for many years with the money looted from our banks. Earlier his red corner notice was cancelled, now this decision of the court has come."

"All this has happened because of the negligence of the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/PM-Modi-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Modi government</a>. It is clear from the repeated negligence that this is being done intentionally," Ramesh alleged.
The name of fugitive businessman Choksi was removed from the Interpol database of Red Notices on the basis of his plea to the Lyon-headquartered agency. Red Notice is the highest level of alert by the 195-member strong International Police cooperation organisation Interpol to locate and provisionally arrest a fugitive pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action.
