“The spectacle of weeding out black money is monstrous,” it said.
The Sena alleged that the path adopted by Modi to halt black money flow is “demonic” and “unsystematic” that has resulted in “financial anarchy” in the nation.
“Instead of striking Pakistan, PM Modi has struck and wounded Indian citizens and mocked their nationalism by saluting them for bearing the anarchy,” it said.
“Black money is not held by ordinary citizens who are standing in queues but a handful of people who have parked their money in foreign banks before the demonetisation announcement. What action has been taken against them?” it said.
Today, roads are empty, shops have no business, vegetable markets have no buyers, labourers have no work and petrol pumps are slowly getting shut for lack of change, the junior alliance partner said.
Modi, in an impassioned plea to the nation yesterday, asked for 50 days to weed out the ill-gotten wealth in India.
Blending emotion with aggression, the PM mounted a counteroffensive against the opposition over demonetisation of high-value currency notes, promising more anti-graft measures in future “even if I’m burned alive”.
