Committing suicide also radical: Arun Shourie on note ban

November 17, 2016 20:27

Former Union Minister Arun Shourie today mocked the claim of demonetisation of high-value currencies being a radical measure, stating that jumping into well or committing suicide is also radical.

"Everybody will say it is a wonderful move going by its stated objective which is to strike at black money but it was not a "thought-through" exercise," said the former BJP leader who has often flayed the Modi government's policies.

"This is a strike not on black money but on legal tender of India, its currency. This is a strike on cash transactions," he told NDTV in an interview.
