Demonetisation largest money-laundering scheme implemented by govt: Shourie

Modi govt is only about 300-feet statute, bullet trains: Arun Shourie

Slamming the Narendra Modi government over sliding economic growth and increasing job losses, former Union Minister Arun Shourie has likened demonetisation with suicide, saying the latter is too "a bold step". 

He also called it the largest money-laundering scheme.

"It was the largest money-laundering scheme ever, conceived and implemented entirely by the government," It was an "idiotic jolt" he continued, "everyone who had black converted it into white," he said. 

"This is a government by 'ilhaam' (revelation). The Prime Minister has the 'ilhaam' one night that demonetisation should be done and he does it. In any case it was a bold step.
