Opposition says BJP and its friends knew about demonetisation

Anand Sharma used wit and humour to attack Modi for being insensitive to problems caused to the common man

Launching a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, opposition parties on Wednesday alleged selective leak of information on demonetisation of Rs 500 and 1000 notes to ‘friends of BJP’ and demanded making public the names of those who had bought gold and foreign exchange of over rupees one crore since April.

Initiating a debate after listed business was suspended to take up a discussion on the November 8 decision to withdraw old higher denomination currency, Anand Sharma (Cong) used wit and humour to attack Modi for being insensitive to problems caused to the common man.
