Note ban a case of khoda pahaad, nikli chuhiya: Chidambaram
Criticising the Centre's demonetisation move, former Finance Minister P Chidambaram said, "It is a case of 'khoda pahaad, nikli chuhiya' (much ado about nothing)." He further said, "It is an illusion that demonetisation is intended to hurt the rich and benefit poor. I don't see any rich man getting affected."
Another day, another attack by the Opposition on demonetisation. Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram, considered one of the finest minds in his party, today called the banning of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes a "scam" and claimed it has broken the back of the poor."I am affected. I am not able to get my Rs 24000 and therefore I am complaining," Chidambaram said in Nagpur as he lashed out at the government.
