Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad, on Thursday cornered the government over the demonetisation of high-value currency notes and said that the ruling dispensation came out with this move without any planning.
He, however, made it clear that the opposition stands with the government as far as the issue of getting rid of the black money is concerned.
Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till 2 p.m. as a united opposition escalated its attack on the ruling dispensation and raised slogans denouncing the demonetisation proposal.
Earlier the Upper House was adjourned till 12: 30 p.m. on the issue. Janata Dal (United) leader Sharad Yadav demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must put forth his position with regard to demonetisation.
