His concerns came following reports that some foreign institutions had bought stakes in Indian companies in the wake of the stock market downturn.
"The massive economic slowdown has weakened many Indian corporates making them attractive targets for takeovers. The government must not allow foreign interests to take control of any Indian corporate at this time of national crisis," Gandhi tweeted.
