Congress leader Pawan Khera launched an attack on Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairperson Puri Buch over irregularities and allegations that she has been drawing salaries not just from the government, but the private bank ICICI Bank and ICICI Prudential.

In a press conference, he stated, “The role of SEBI is to regulate the share market where we all invest our money. It has a very important role to play. Who appoints the chairperson of SEBI? This is the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, Prime Minister and Union HM Amit Shah. There are two members in this committee for appointing the chairperson of SEBI…She (SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch) between 2017 and 2014 was taking regular income of Rs 16 crore 80 lakhs from ICICI Bank. You are also a full-time SEBI member, then why were you taking a salary from ICICI?…”
