If I was the PM then I would have thrown demonetisation proposal in dustbin: Rahul Gandhi

Singapore, Mar 10 (IBNS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi has said he would have thrown the proposal of note ban to the 'dustbin' in case he was serving as the Prime Minister of India.

Gandhi targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi whose government had banned old Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes in 2016.

When asked about demonetisation during an event in  Malaysia, Gandhi said: "If I was the Prime Minister and somebody would have given me a file with demonetisation written on it, I would thrown it in the dustbin.”

The Congress shared his video of speaking on the issue and captioned it as: " Congress President Rahul Gandhi tells us how he would have rolled out #Demonetisation better. #RGinMalaysia."

The Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Cetnre had rolled out the note ban plan on Nov 8, 2016.

The Congress has repeatedly slammed the Centre over the move.

Gandhi commenced his Malaysia visit on Saturday.

He earlier visited Singapore.
