“I’d expected black money-driven human trafficking would be crippled completely following demonetisation. But no significant effort is being seen on ground,” said Satyarthi.
“Demonetisation is a way, and not the end in itself for checking trafficking,” he added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during an election rally in December, had asserted that demonetisation has destroyed human trafficking, terrorism, drug mafia and underworld in one blow.
The report cited Satyarthi saying that Rs 2,000 notes are being gradually pushed into human trafficking. He further stressed that government should make serious efforts to guard against this.
“Black money, corruption and trafficking is a vicious circle and the scourge needs to be dealt with iron hand,” he said.
