Punjab Congress upped its ante against demonetisation

Punjab Congress upped its ante against demonetisation in line with the all-India campaign launched by the party’s central leadership, demanding immediate steps by the Modi government to rectify the situation triggered by the noteban.

Congress leader and former MoS J D Seelam said the party was submitting memorandum to all Deputy Commissioners (DCs) in the state, seeking the truth on the demonetisation move and its impact on people.

The memorandum against “corruption and demonetisation”, which has already been submitted to Prime Minister, demands the conduct of an independent inquiry into the corruption and bribery allegations in the Birla and Sahara papers cases, he said.
