Activist Tehseen Poonawalla and Maharashtra Congress Secretary on November 6 arranged a meet to mourn the deaths of those who died from standing in serpentine queues outside ATMs and Banks post-Modi Government's move to demonetise currency notes of 1000 and 500 on November 8, 2016.
Speaking to Oneindia, Tehseen Poonawalla called the demonetisation move an act of terror that claimed the lives of over 100 people. He asked, 'In which country would a Prime Minister be allowed to get away after killing over 100 people so mercilessly?'
He also took on the Prime Minister for the 'massive failure' that demonetisation has been. He said, 'Demonetisation has not shown any benefit, it has just been a reason of pain to many and yet we don't know one way that the move has helped the citizens of the country,'
He also pointed out at the failure of the government to extract black money in the system by the move.
'No black money has been extracted through the move, then why did the Prime Minister make so many people suffer for something that is going to do more harm than good?' he added.
He further questioned Prime Minister Modi's silence on the deaths caused by Prime Minister. He said, 'How insensitive is the Prime Minister who does not have anything to say for the people who died for the decision taken by him? If he thinks that those people sacrificed their lives for the betterment of the nation,
why does not he give them the respect of martyrs?'
He also questioned the changing goalposts of the Modi-Government regarding the move. He said, 'First they said it is about black money and we did see any effect on black money circulation. They said that it would stop terrorism and stone pelting, yet most numbers of jawans and security personnel died after the move, the move to demonetise harmed more that it helped, however, the Prime Minister chooses to remain in denial,'
On November 8, 2017 there will be a nationwide protest against the act of demonetisation by several opposition parties were victims of demonetisation are also expected to be present.

Comment:-   No one has given Her or His life for any betterment, by standing in bank Lines. If the poorest have given their lives by standing in lines, Why not any one of the 1st and 2nd class citizen's have given his life ? It means that only the poor have the responsibilty of the betterment of India, not the top class, they are only to Enjoy all facilities.
    The poor have given their lives, because they and Billions of others standing in bank lines were worried about their two time Meals.            What do you think that the peoples standing in Bank lines with their Artificial Urine tubes in hands, were thinking of any other betterment ? if so why not the politicians and Industrialists stand in Bank Lines  ? ? ?                                         Amar Jit Singh Chandi
