Law Minister Kiren Rijiju targets Congress after SC upholds NDA govt decision of demonetization

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday, In a series of tweets slammed the Congress party after the Supreme Court’s judgement upholding the 2016 decision of the Central government to demonetise the currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denominations.

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “Congress Party’s attempt to twist the issue and misinform the people is exposed. Their malicious efforts to undo the legitimate action of an elected Govt won’t succeed and P Chidambaram fails again.”

Explaining a few highlights of the SC decision, he said, “The Supreme Court never examines the impact of a decision like demonetisation. That question could never have been raised for consideration of the Supreme Court as it is essentially for the executive.”
“However, the positive impact of demonetisation like increase in income tax, curbing black money which disrupted terror finance, disclosure of bogus companies and direct transfer of benefits to the needy is for all in the public domain”, he added.
In a series of tweets made by law minister Kiren Rijiju said, “India’s cashless pivot in UPI is being celebrated by the world. Our citizens know this and showed that trust through the ballot towards PM Modi.”
He also attacked Congress leader P. Chidambaram and asked him not to “misinform” the citizens.
“P. Chidambaram knows he’s making a political argument when he states that the objectives were not met, as neither the majority judgment nor even the minority judgment has accepted the said contention. My request to Congress Party “please don’t misinform our citizens”, he said in a tweet.
