Last week, former Indian finance minister P.Chidambaram said "not a single economist worldwide has approved the demonetization in India 2016

On November 08, 2016, Indian Prime minister made a sudden announcement that Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes will be invalid from November 09, 2016. The Indian government plan was to destroy all black money/unpaid taxes hidden by Indians in cash in the form of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.

Indian people were given time till November 23, 2016 to exchange the old currency notes at all the banks in India. So there were long queues outside Banks for depositing money and also withdrawing money. I was in the queue at the bank for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Later Indian Congress leader 'Rahul Gandhi" said "91 people had died in queues outside banks and ATMs" which was the result of sudden announcement by PM Narendra Modi.

Prime Minister "Narendra Modi" is very proud of his actions

This was very bad of the government. Announcing that a particular currency note will be invalid within 24hrs is absurd. Such a decision should have been protested by the people considering the death casualties too.
