India’s opposition has disrupted Parliament for a third day, protesting the government’s silence over allegations against billionaire Gautam Adani, who was recently indicted in the U.S. for alleged fraud and a scheme to pay bribes.

Congress and other opposition parties accuse the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of protecting billionaire Gautam Adani.
