Congress leader Anand Sharma is speaking on the currency ban in the Rajya Sabha. Highlights....

-- Take a decision, but don't tarnish the entire nation.

-- 86 per cent of currency scrapped in one move. Does that mean all of it was black money?

-- Do farmers have credit cards?

-- Which country is cashless?

-- Monetary policy is under the Reserve Bank of India's jurisdiction. An atmosphere has been created by Govt where questioning the Govt has become the parameter to decide one's nationalism.

--  If you are trying to give the impression that it is this government who has taken all actions to fight black money then you are wrong.

-- The PM does not have the grace to admit it was the previous government, and you are just continuing it.

-- Today you have created an environment where you cannot ask questions
If you ask questions then questions are raised on your patriotism.

-- You beat Pakistan, good. But what about currency ban? You have a list of Indians who have money in Swiss Banks, in the HSBC lists. We demand you to share the list.
