TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Describing demonetisation as a “tragedy” that destroyed millions of lives, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Thursday alleged that the government’s move was a carefully planned “criminal financial scam” whose full truth is yet to be revealed. On the second anniversary of note ban, he also alleged that demonetisation was a planned “brutal conspiracy” and a “shrewd scheme” to convert the black money of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “suit-booted friends”.
“India will discover, no matter how the government tries to hide it, that demonetisation wasn’t just an ill-conceived and poorly executed economic policy with ‘innocent intent’, but a carefully planned, criminal financial scam,” Gandhi said in a statement. “The full truth about demonetisation is not out yet. India’s people will not rest till it is,” he said.
In his statement, Gandhi said on the second anniversary of the prime minister’s “monumental blunder, the government’s spin-doctors, including our incompetent finance minister, have the unenviable task of defending an indefensible, criminal policy”.
“Demonetisation was a tragedy. India has faced many tragedies in its past. Many a time have envious, external enemies tried to hurt us. But demonetisation is unique in the history of our tragedies because it was a self-inflicted, suicidal attack that destroyed millions of lives and ruined thousands of India’s small businesses,” he alleged.
