Rajkot (Gujarat)
\nContinuing his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dr Manmohan Singh on Thursday once again criticised the demonetisation move and alleged that the former has \u201cbetrayed\u201d the trust of Gujaratis.<\/p>\n
While addressing a press conference in Gujarat\u2019s Rajkot, the former prime minister said, \u201cThe people of Rajkot and Gujarat trusted the Prime Minister and believed in the policy of demonetisation in the hope that their sacrifice would benefit India. Their faith and hopes have been shattered. Modiji has betrayed the trust that Gujaratis had reposed in him\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201c99% of the demonetised currency came back to the banks. It is clear that a lot of black money got converted to white and corruption continues to flourish. One immediate impact of demonetisation has been on job sector. Therefore, demonetisation was an uninformed attack and a disastrous decision for our economy,\u201d added Manmohan Singh.<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cI invoke memories of more than 100 people who lost their lives while standing in queues as a result of demonetisation. I say with immense pain and a sense of deep responsibility that November 8 was a black day for our economy and democracy.\u201d The former prime minister further averred that people should demand the release of documents related to demonetisation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must demand the government to release all the documents related to demonetisation in public domain for scrutiny\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
