Reveal details of your bank deals after demonetisation, PM tells BJP MPs
Posted November 29th, 2016, 12:10 PM IST

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked BJP MPs and MLAs to submit details of their bank account transactions between November 8 and December 31 to BJP President Amit Shah, at a Parliamentary Party meeting ahead of Parliament session.
The Income Tax Amendment Bill proposed on Monday is meant not to turn black money into white but to use money looted from poor for welfare, the PM added in the meeting.
Amit Shah on the other hand asked BJP MPs to motivate traders falling in their constituencies to move to cashless transactions.
Meanwhile, ruckus over demonetisation continued in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday with Congress leader Ahmed Patel lashing out at the Modi government over the move.
“There is no relief for farmers, traders and others, but for black money hoarders the government is repeatedly providing amnesty. This is the reality of Modi sarkar” Patel alleged.
Countering him, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said that income tax amendments proposed on Monday were for the benefit of the common man.
The Minister called on the Opposition to support the PM’s move to create a cashless society.
Soon after, Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 12 noon and the Lok Sabha till 11:30 am.
With the Centre agreeing that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would speak on demonetisation in Parliament "if there is a proper debate", leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said the former would not do any 'favour' as "it is his duty to answer to questions" of opposition parties.
Speaking to ANI Congress leader Kharge said, "Prime Minister Modi is not doing any favour to us by intervening in Parliament. It is his duty. He should come and listen to our debate and answer to our questions."
Earlier, Kharge had said that demonetisation had harmed the economic system, the farmers, the youth, labourers and women among others and they are in distress.
Seeking to break the deadlock, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had yesterday told the Lok Sabha that Prime Minister Modi would speak on demonetisation, but the opposition's demand for a debate with a provision for voting remained unimpressed, forcing another adjournment.
With opposition parties firm on their stand, Singh said nobody is questioning the government's intentions over demonetisation.
He said the government was willing to listen to the complaints and suggestions of different parties over the execution of the demonetisation move.
