Former Union minister P Chidambaram on Monday took a jibe at the Center after the RBI’s decision to withdraw Rs 2,000 notes from circulation, saying the BJP’s thinking that the withdrawal should be done to unearth black money Has been, is over now because the banks have made it clear that there is no identity, no form. No proof will be required to change them.
In a long note on Twitter, P Chidambaram said, “The BJP’s spin that Rs 2000 notes are being withdrawn to unearth black money has been busted. Common people do not have Rs 2000 notes They abandoned it soon after it was introduced in 2016.” They were unusable for daily retail exchange.”
He said, “So, who kept and used Rs 2000 notes? You know the answer.”
“Rs 2000 note only helped black money hoarders to deposit their money easily. Rs 2000 note holders are being welcomed on red carpet to exchange their notes!” said the former Union minister.
P Chidambaram wrote, “So much for the government’s stated objective of eliminating black money. Rs 2000 note was a foolish move in 2016. I am glad that the foolish move is being withdrawn after at least 7 years.” “
