‘Tata being criminally destroyed’: Rahul Gandhi amid crisis within Tata Group
New Delhi: Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, alleged on Wednesday that the Tata Group is being criminally destroyed and that no business leader dares to say the same. He also asked how long they would remain silent on the matter.

Taking to X, the senior Congress leader said that businesses in India are not PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah’s plaything.
‘No business leader dares say a word’
“Tata is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word. How long will you stay silent? Until they own you? Indian business is not Modi and Shah’s plaything. You lack courage. We don’t. We will ensure justice for these crimes,” the former Congress president wrote on the social media site.

His remarks came at a time when the Tata Group is witnessing a major dispute over Tata Sons’ leadership. In recent times, the tensions within the group have already split trustees of the group and spread inside the Tata Sons boardroom.
Recently, Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata challenged the resolution of the group to reappoint N Chandrasekaran as the chairman of Tata Sons. The decision was passed at the September 17 board meeting of the holding company.
Parsi and Zoroastrian community organisations writes to PM Modi
Earlier this week, several Parsi and Zoroastrian community organisations wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing solidarity with Tata Trusts amid ongoing tensions. The letter stated, “The debate surrounding the listing of Tata Sons should not be viewed merely as a regulatory or technical matter. The implications reach much further. Any change that alters the balance between long-term stewardship and short-term market expectations could affect the very fabric, ethos and defining character of Tata Sons and, by extension, the wider Tata Group”.
