KOLKATA(UNI) Trinamool Congress Chairperson Mamata Banerjee has said she was the first person to raise her voice against the draconian demonetisation, and reacted to the decision – not ten days or fifteen days later, but within two hours.
According to a party statement here today, Ms Banerjee said, ” While we are strongly against black money, corruption, we are deeply concerned about common people, small traders, how will they buy essentials tomorrow? This is financial chaos, disaster let loose on the common people of India.
He (Prime Minister) could not get back the promised black money from abroad, hence so much drama.
” ‘ We want to know from the Prime Minister how our poorest brothers and sisters, who’ve received their week’s hard-earned wage in one Rs 500 note will buy atta, chawal tomorrow.
This is a heartless and ill-conceived blow to the common people, the middle class, the agricultural cooperatives, the tea garden workers, the unorganised labour sector, shopkeepers, farmers, small businessmen.
