New Delhi, May 19 (). RBI has decided to withdraw Rs 2,000 note from circulation on Friday. After this, the Congress targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that after the decision of demonetisation of November 8, 2016, the Rs 2,000 note, which was introduced with such fanfare, is now being withdrawn.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh tweeted from his Twitter account and wrote, Our self-styled world guru, first does, then thinks. The Rs 2000 notes introduced with such fanfare after the disastrous Tughlaqi decree of 8 November 2016 are now being withdrawn.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said, the ghost of November 8, 2016 is back to haunt the country once again. The much publicized move of demonetisation has turned out to be a major disaster for the country. The Prime Minister preached to the nation on the benefits of the new 2000 notes, what happened to all those promises when the printing is stopped today?
The Congress spokesperson further said that the government should explain its intention behind such a move. The government is continuing its anti-people and anti-poor agenda. Hopefully the media will question the government on such a drastic step and not blame it for the chip shortage in the world.
According to reports, the Congress leaders’ remarks came after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced on Friday that it would withdraw Rs 2,000 banknotes from circulation, but said they would continue as legal tender till September 30.
