Short queue for cash

Leaders of Opposition parties on Monday gathered in Parliament for a meeting to decide their strategy for the winter session of Parliament that begins on Wednesday. The ruling National Democratic Alliance also had its meeting. The man of the moment might be Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was even congratulated for his bold demonetisation move by journalists, but competing for limelight was the lone ATM on the Parliament House premises. There was no rush at the machine as Parliament House has little or no access to the public. Politicians, Parliament House staff and journalists took the opportunity to stand in short queues to withdraw cash from the machine.
