NEW DELHI: Unfazed by combined opposition attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in and outside Parliament, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today ruled out roll back of demonetisation saying the Government is firm on cleansing politics and economy of the country.
Rejecting the demand of political parties like Aam Admi Party and Trinamool Congress, he said, “whatever AAP and Trinamool Congress said about the roll back, there is no question of that. It is a clear decision of the Prime Minister and Government to cleanse politics and economy of the country. We will stick to it (demonetisation)”.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal along with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today organised a protest in front of RBI office in the national capital to oppose the decision of the Government to withdraw Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes. They are demanded withdrawal of the demonetisation as it is causing hardship to common man.
The issue of demonetisation also rocked Parliament leading to repeated adjournments of the Rajya Sabha as well as the Lok Sabha. (AGENCIES)
