‘DEMONETISATION SO BADLY EXECUTED’

A
ctor Shatrughan Sinha hit out at PM Modi’s demonetisation move on Friday with a series of tweets that he later had to delete, following an uproar by BJP members. A BJP leader himself, Sinha says he still stands by his criticism of the move. “I stand by what I said. I had to delete the tweet as it was being construed as a criticism of our beloved, much revered prime minister, the super-hero Narendra Modiji... Criticising a party decision is not a criticism of the Prime Minister. I
maintain that demonetisation was well intended but very badly executed. It seems like a decision implemented in josh (haste) instead of hosh (deliberation). Forget black money, the working class is being denied access to his hardearned money. You are saying you will get only `2.5 lakh to conduct a wedding. What can be done with that measly amount? Even a decent welcome for the baraat costs more... It is easy to say that the common man is willing to suffer for the larger good. But where is the larger good? As a learned economist has said, the `2,000 note may solve the
problem of space crunch. But would it quell the financial crunch? People are making jokes about the pink colour of the 2,000 rupee note coming off during Holi in their pockets, and save them money on buying colours. I don’t think this is a joking matter. Today, it’s the `500 and `1,000, what if tomorrow the new ` 2,000 and the new ` 500 notes are demonetised?” Sinha adds, “The scariest part is that people have lost faith in the government and in the banking service. Today for the first time in a long time, the opposition is united. And for once what they are saying
makes sense. Honourable PM has been let down by his learned advisors.” The actor-politician suggests a solution, “Modiji should immediately form a highpowered committee of BJP stalwarts like LK Advaniji, Murli Manoharji, Subramaniyam Swamiji,Arun Shourieji... The committee should include a top notch lawyer. If errors of judgement have been made there should be no shame in admitting these... Correct the wrong immediately. Janta will love the government for admitting its mistake.” n
