Terming the demonetiasation drive as anti-people, Congress' Delhi unit
on Monday said that it will stage protest against it across the city on
January 7, as part of its party's pan-India programme.
"Party
will hold protest demonstrations across the city against the anti-people
policies and corruption of the central government which has pushed the
country towards a financial anarchy by the faulty implementation of the
demonetisation," Congress spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee told
reporters here.
The Congress leader said that the Mahila
Congress will also observe a "Thali-Peet Demonstration" on January 9 at
the district levels, along with other frontal organisations in the city.
Slamming
Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not announcing any measures to ease
the cash transactions from the banks and the ATMs during his address to
the nation on December 31, Mukherjee said: "The people of India were
eagerly awaiting his address to the nation.
"They were hoping
that he will inform the nation about how much black money has been
unearthed during 50 days of demonetisation. But he has decided to remain
silent over it."
Mukherjee also said that 115 people had died
due to different reasons following demonetisation. "But their families
have not been given a penny as compensation. And Modiji did not even
mention about them in his speech," she alleged.
Attacking Modi
for the alleged kickbacks he received when Gujarat Chief Minister,
Mukherjee said: "Modiji has not yet replied to Congress Vice President
Rahul Gandhi's poser about allegedly receiving Rs 65 crore from the
Aditya Birla group and the Sahara group."
Hitting out at the
government over demonetisation, Mukherjee said, "Modiji had said that
demonetisation will cleanse the country of black money, action will be
taken on the corrupt, and terrorism would be stamped out."
"But
nothing has happened and it is very strange that during demonetisation,
BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) leaders were caught with unaccounted
money," she accused.
The Congress leader also said that it seems
that the BJP had prior knowledge about demonetisation move. "That's why
crores of rupees were invested in land and property by RSS (Rashtriya
Swayamsewak Sangh) and BJP leaders in Odisha and Bihar," she said.
