TIL Desk/National/Kolkata/ Terming the Narendra Modi government’s demonetisation move a “disaster”, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee took to Twitter on Monday and implored others to follow suit in slamming the decision on the micro-blogging website on 8 November.
Her remarks came just two days ahead of the first anniversary of demonetisation, that the Opposition has decided to observe as ‘Black Day’ across the nation. Mamata called for a protest against the note ban, which she dubbed as a “scam that destroyed the economy”, and asked others to change their Twitter DP (display picture) to black on 8 November.
Her salvo is the latest in a string of recent attacks against the ruling dispensation. Just two weeks ago, she had called demonetisation India’s “biggest scam”. “Demonetisation is the biggest scam in the country.
There should be an investigation to know why it was done. Our party leaders will observe KalaDibas (Black Day) in each and every block between 2 pm and 3 pm on 8 November,” Mamata had announced. “Come up with short and crisp slogans protesting against demonetisation,” she had told party leaders.
