Amid support and opposition of the Centre’s unprecedented decision to scrap Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes that has severely impacted people’s lives, a video is doing the round on social media wherein a woman is willing to divorce her husband if he opposes the demonetisation move taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“I am ready to divorce my husband for Modiji. My husband is anti-Modi,” she can be seen as saying in the 1.25-miniute video.

“Modi is working without any greed. Tell me how many of you would like to work without any greed. No one wants to do anything with any lust.... What all of you standing here have done for the nation? Will Modiji go to fill at all ATMs with cash? If bank officials are indulged in corrupt practices, fight them for your right…Modi is fighting alone for you all...go to the borders to fight enemies, then you will realise how difficult the lives of our jawans are...your sons are fighting there and sacrificing their lives...,” said the woman who has been identified as Rashmi Jain.

At least 11 bank officials have died because of the stress following the demonetisation. Around 50 distressed people from across the country have also lost lives because of standing in long queues or in absence of medical treatments denied after the government ceased the legal tender of the higher currency notes.

The opposition parties will launch a country-wide protest ‘Akrosh Diwas’ on November 28 over the BJP-led NDA regime’s sudden move. This come as the deadlock continues in Parliament with the government refusing to agree to a discussion in the Lok Sabha that ends in a vote.
