Arvind Subramanian should have resigned over demonetisation: Rahul

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi on demonetisation, Congress President Rahul Gandhi has said that former Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian has distanced himself from the decision to junk high-value currency notes, but he should have resigned on the issue and those guilty of the “huge scam” will be punished.

In a tweet, Mr. Gandhi said demonetisation, like the Rafale deal, was “a crime against India” and noted that former Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had distanced himself from the deal to purchase fighter jets to “save his skin.”

“Demo (demonetisation) like Rafale was a crime against India and a huge scam. Parrikar distanced himself from Rafale to save his skin. Subramanian is doing the same with Demo. I wonder why he didn’t resign when he disagreed so much? Don’t worry India, the guilty will be investigated and punished,” Mr. Gandhi said.
