Demonetisation: Rahul Gandhi demands a joint Parliament committee to probe move
"Prime Minister should come here, sit, debate and listen to us. We feel that this demonetisation is a scam and demand a joint parliament committee to look into it," he was quoted as saying by NDTV.
Gandhi lead a team of 200 lawmakers from opposition parties, who stood in a line in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue as a sign of protest.
"What PM has done is world's biggest impromptu financial experiment," he added.
Though Jayalalithaa's AIADMK has moved in with the opposition parties and is protesting demonetisation, Shiv Sena, who earlier slammed the move, is now supporting it as a cause that will end corruption.
The opposition leaders have also demanded that the government pay a compensation of INR 10 lakhs to the bereaved families of the 70 people who have died so far due to demonetisation.
