'Demonetisation was illegal'

‘Demonetisation was illegal’

I want the prime minister to be punished because he put our country in difficulties as he took this decision without Cabinet approval.’
‘When he had already ordered the printing of new currency notes on May 19, 2016, why did he tell lies to the country?’

For the last two years Right to Information activist R L Kain has been trying to get details about demonetisation — how it was done, who took the key decisions and whether Prime Minister Narendra D Modi called a Cabinet meeting before his speech at 8 pm on November 8, 2016, to announce the move.

The prime minister’s office has refused to divulge details pertaining to the printing of currency notes post the note ban, citing the exemption clauses related to national and economic security in the RTI Act.

“Demonetisation was a dirty game played on the common man,” Kain tells Rediff.com’s Syed Firdaus Ashraf.
