Hyderabad: Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee has strongly condemns the act of demonetisation of the currency notes by the Narendra Modi-led BJP government, and said that it had curbed the civil liberties of the common people.
“Sudden cancellation of currency notes, closing of banks and ATM points is not just a matter of administrative decision; this might have been a calculated strategy of the Modi government to divert the attention from bringing back black money stored in foreign banks. Everyone knows that black money is in foreign banks in the form of foreign currency. The black money is also in the form of gold, shares in multi- national companies and properties outside India,” the organisation said in a press release.
This committee denounces the act, calling it anti-people in the name of administrative grounds to control the fake currency and black money.
“The act of Modi is politically motivated with ill intentions. It is a matter of grave concern that in this modern democratic era, a person Modi is just announcing order of cancelling the currency, closing the banks and locking the ATMs. This kind of act can be done only by such ruler who does not care about the people but has only love towards power…at this point, the lives of Indian people have been paralyzed,” the release added.
The committee demanded the President of India to intervene into the situation so that normalcy prevails in the country.
