The "biggest scam of this century" rocked the Parliament today as the opposition alleged that the new Rs. 500 notes were being printed in two sizes, "one for the ruling party and one for the others". Supported by TMC, SP and JD(U), the Congress launched a barrage of attacks on BJP members, alleging they had "today discovered the reason why the government did demonetization".

TMC's Derek O'Brien, SP's Naresh Agrawal and JD(U)'s Sharad Yadav displayed copies of notes of allegedly different sizes. "I can give signed (copies of notes)," Yadav said. Congress' Anand Sharma said this questioned the credibility of the currency in circulation. Amid slogan-shouting members, Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nazi Azad said, "The government has no right to remain in office for even five minutes."
