Centre disregarding will of the people, says Congress

"You(PM Modi) are disregarding the will of people who elected you by trampling upon an institution like Parliament and disrespecting it by ignoring the institution by blocking the institution from functioning and by creating divide and rule policy inside and outside the house," he told ANI here. "Unfortunately, people want answers from Centre and also from the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Those answers would have to be given for your one unwitting decision of demonetisation that has plunged the country into economic chaos," he added. On Wednesday, the Congress Party took out a protest march over the demonetization move and alleged that the nation is suffering courtesy Prime Minister Modi's declaration of an economic emergency. Holding placards, scores of Congress workers and supporters gathered here to vent their ire against the government's move and raised slogans such as 'Modi mitra kushal, janata behaal' and 'Abki baar janata ki mehnat ki kamai par vaar'.

The Winter Session of Parliament has not been able to transact any substantial business for the last five days due to opposition uproar over the demonetization of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes.(ANI)
