Continuing his trail of attacks on PM Modi, Dr Manmohan Sigh on Thursday questioned his demonetization scheme once again, claiming that he has betrayed the trust of fellow 'Gujratis'.
While talking to the crowd in Gujrat's Rajkot, the former PM said: "The people of Rajkot and Gujarat trusted the Prime Minister and believed in the policy of demonetisation in the hope that their sacrifice would benefit India. Their faith and hopes have been shattered. Modiji has betrayed the trust that Gujaratis had reposed in him" he said.
He has also urged people to ask officials to present documents related to demonetisation.
"We must demand the government to release all the documents related to demonetisation in public domain for scrutiny", he said.
"99% of the demonetised currency came back to the banks. It is clear that a lot of black money got converted to white and corruption continues to flourish. One immediate impact of demonetisation has been on job sector. Therefore, demonetisation was an uninformed attack and a disastrous decision for our economy," he further added.
