Government working to reduce inconvenience: Jaitley to LS

08 Dec 2016 Evaluate

Union Finance Minster Arun Jaitley lashed out at the Opposition for not allowing a debate on demonetization. Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Jaitley said the government is making all efforts to reduce the inconvenience faced by people due to demonetization. ‘I want to specify that the Prime Minister has said that we will make efforts to minimize the difficulties faced by the people till December 30. There is an effort to reduce the inconvenience,’ he said.

Slamming the Congress Party, Jaitley asked them to mention one step taken by the grand old party to curb money in their 10 years’ rule. He further added ‘Congress was in power from 2004-14: I challenge them to tell about even one step taken to curb black money in the 10 years’. The Lok Sabha was later adjoined till 11 am on Friday. Proceedings in the Lok Sabha were disrupted for the 16th consecutive day as Opposition continued to engage in sloganeering demanding a debate on demonetization under a rule that entails voting.
