Stating that the crisis over the demonetisation is getting more compounded with every passing day, CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Thursday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of disrupting the Parliament as they don't have proper answers about when the financial crisis will be over.

"The crisis over demonetisation is getting more compounded with every passing day. The entire economy has been badly hit, first it was only small scale industries, now the big and medium scale industries are also getting hit. Both the government and the RBI should come clean on when this crisis will be over," Yechury said.

"The RBI governor should clearly say as to when this replacement will be completely over. The people are suffering this can't go on . This has to stop," he said.

Yechury accused the BJP of disrupting Parliament as they don't have any proper answers.

"We had demanded that PM should take part in the discussion but he didn't. It is BJP which is disrupting the Parliament as it doesn't have any proper answers," he said.
