Nobel laureate Amartya Sen has questioned the demonetisation step, stating that both the idea and its implementation was similar to a “despotic action” and showed “authoritarian nature of the government”. "Only an authoritarian government can calmly cause such misery to the people,” Sen said. The move has declared all Indians as possible crooks, unless they can establish otherwise, he added.
