Currency ban: M Venkaiah Naidu attacks Manmohan Singh

New Delhi, Nov 24 (IBNS): Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu ‏ on Thursday attacked former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who criticised the centre's move to ban Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes on Nov 8.

"Sh Manmohan Singh ji, having presided over monumental mismanagement for 10 years resulting in the present situation," Naidu tweeted.


"Is now accusing us of monumental mismanagement. what an irony?" he said.

After days of uproar and chaos, the debate on demonetisation began in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi being present in the House as his predecessor Manmohan Singh led the opposition attack against the Government.

Criticising the 'monumental mismanagement' of the Modi Government, Singh said the way the move has been taken is causing misery to the people and the 50-day restriction on withdrawal of money could spell a disaster.

"I hope that PM will help us find practical ways to give relief to people suffering. Monumental mismanagement has been undertaken in implementation of demonetisation," he said.

“I want to ask PM that can he name any country where people have deposited their money but are not able to withdraw it. PM said wait for 50 days but for the poor section even 50 days can be detrimental,” Singh said.


The government on Thursday morning said it had not formally invited the opposition to discuss how to end the stand-off in parliament over the abrupt decision to ban 500 and 1,000 rupee notes
