Opposition parties on Wednesday slammed the government over the note ban

NEW DELHI: Opposition parties on Wednesday slammed the government over the note ban, terming it a “disaster” and “anti-national.”

Former finance minister P Chidambaram used Reserve Bank data to lash out saying, “Shame on RBI,” as 99% junked currency has returned. 

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying demonetisation not only dented institutional sanctity of the RBI but also India's credibility abroad.  .. 

Chidambaram questioned the Narendra Modi government whether its demonetisation decision was designed to convert black money into white. 

CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury launched a stinging attack on the Centre over demonetisation, saying India can“never forgive” the Modi government for the “anti- national act”, which allegedly hit the economy. Samajwadi Party leader Naresh Agarwal said his party would move a privilege motion against RBI Governor Urjit Patel for misleading a parliamentary panel on the issue.
