: AICC General Secretary, Oommen Chandy, Thursday questioned the BJP's "shrill silence"on the impact of demonetisation and sought an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the pain caused to the common man.

The BJP government 'celebrated' the first anniversary of demonetisation as "Anti-Black Money Day" without explaining how it helped the country, he said.

However, on the second anniversary Thursday, the saffron party was maintaining a "very shrill silence", Chandy, a former Kerala chief minister, said in a Facebook post titled "Demonetizationan economic disaster!"
