Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Monday asked party workers not to raise ‘murdabad’ slogans against Prime Minster Narendra Modi, while attacking his policy of demonetisation.
While addressing ‘Janakrosh Rally’ at Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh, Gandhi said, “Using such word (murdabad) is not our culture. You can hear such word from hardliner like RSS. He (Modi) is our Prime Minister and we have a political rivalry against him. I would like to urge you all not to use such word against him.”
He said, “Recently, I met PM Modi and demanded to waive farmers’ loan. He looked at me and said nothing. He did not reply. He is targeting the poor people of this country and waiving loans of rich”.
“The decision (on demonetisation) made on Nov 8 was not against black money or corruption, but against farmers and the poor. PM Modi’s demonetisation is not a surgical strike but a fire bombing on poor,” he added.
On Black Money he said, “Only 6% unaccounted money is stashed in India and 94% blackmoney is stashed away in foreign banks, real estate and investment in land deals and gold. Why is PM Modi is running after only the 6%.”
