JAMMU: Congress unit of Raipur Domana on Sunday alleged that demonetisation has increased the sufferings of people manifold.
In a meeting convened by Mula Ram Vice President JKPCC and Hari Singh Chib senior Congress leader, the negative impacts of the demonetisation were discussed threadbare.
Uday Chib National Secretary NSUI asked five questions from Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking clarification on quantum of black money recovered post demonetization, data on fiscal loss and cut in employability, number of deaths occurred due to chaos, status of compensation, persons who advised Prime Minister on demonetization and details of people who have deposited more than Rs. 25 lakh in bank accounts six months prior to demonetization.
