The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
has slammed former prime minister Manmohan Singh for his sharp criticism
of the Narendra Modi government on the demonetisation move, saying that
he should have kept his own house in order as prime minister in the UPA
government.
“Manmohan Singh is considered one of the
top economists, but what did he do in the two terms of the UPA
government as prime minister? Most of the black wealth was generated
during this period, with a series of high-profile scams, and he was at
the helm of affairs. Wasn’t that an organised loot of the nation’s
wealth?” asked J Nandkumar, Akhil Bharatiya Sah Prachar Pramukh of the
RSS.
Breaking his silence after a long
period, Manmohan, during the debate on demonetisation move in Rajya
Sabha on Thursday, alleged that the NDA government’s plan of scrapping
high-value currency notes had led to “organised loot and legalised
plunder”
