Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sudden announcement to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes in circulation, though welcomed by people across the country, has left many in the lurch and utter state of confusion. Millions of consumers have been desperately queuing up outside banks and ATMs to exchange old notes for new ones or withdraw cash.
Despite facing the opposition’s mounting ire, the Prime Minister, in an impassioned plea had earlier urged the people to support the move while asking them to bear the “pain for 50 days” to help him deliver the “India of your dreams”. He had also warned that several other steps were in the offing to curb the menace of corruption.
In a sharp contrast to the peaceful discussion on Wednesday, the Congress-led opposition the next day launched a relentless attack on the ruling dispensation over the raging debate on demonetisation, leading to disruptions in both Houses of Parliament.
The opposition parties had refused to allow Rajya Sabha to function unless the Prime Minister responds to their questions on the currency move that “has caused hardship to the common man”. The Lok Sabha also witnessed noisy disruptions, with the opposition demanding a discussion under a rule that mandates voting.
