Demonetisation is a tragedy. We stand with millions of honest Indians, whose lives & livelihoods were destroyed by PM’s thoughtless act. — Office of RG (@OfficeOfRG) 1510104958000

NEW DELHI: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday told a gathering of Indian diaspora how he would have implemented demonetisation - and the answer may not be what you expected.Gandhi was speaking to an audience in Malaysia, when someone asked how he would have rolled out the note ban , as opposed to how it actually was implemented."If I was the Prime Minister, and someone had given me a file with demonetisation written on it, I would have thrown it in the dustbin," exclaimed Gandhi."Out through the door and into the junkyard, because that's what I think should be done with demonetisation," he added.Gandhi and the Congress party have consistently been critical of the note ban, with the former even terming the move a "tragedy."His party observed the first anniversary of the note ban as 'Black Day' across India.On November 8, 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 would cease to be legal tender.
