Challenging Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to contest the lok Sabha by-election from Amritsar, Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday said that let it be a referendum on the Modi Government’s dictatorial demonetisation move.
Capt Amarinder had defeated Jaitley in 2014 lok Sabha polls by a huge margin from Amritsar constituency defying the Modi wave
across India.
Reacting strongly to the gold restrictions imposed by the Modi Government, Capt Amarinder said that these kind of things happened in the Nazi Germany of Adolf Hitler. “So is the Modi Government trying to replicate the Nazi ideology in IndiaIJ” he asked.
Pointing out that gold was a symbol of marital happiness and had a lot of significance for Indian women, he questioned the intentions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Jaitley.
Expressing serious concern over the latest spate of hacking incidents, Capt Amarinder warned Modi against exposing the common people to fraudsters through his ill-conceived demonetisation scheme, saying that it would backfire on the Government, beginning with the forthcoming Assembly elections.
