 Earlier the Minister, he said it's a short-term pain and a long-term gain. So there's absolutely no gain, it's only been a pain, short-term and long-term. And that is what the RBI has actually proved. Now this confirms every single assertion that we have made on the demolitization when it was announced. The Prime Minister had talked four objectives to be achieved. One is to flush out black money. Two is to end corruption. Three is to end terrorism or terrorist funding. And four is to end your counterfeit currency. These were the four objectives that he made in that address to the nation. And we had said not one of these four can be achieved through this demolitization. And the objective of this demolitization seems to be at the expense of crippling the livelihood of crores and crores of Indian people only to benefit the profit bonanza for multinational and your domestic big corporates. And that has now come out to be true. We have said that black money cannot be recovered through such a move and that has now been completely confirmed that this has been a money-laundering exercise to allow black money to be converted into white. Instead of countering counterfeit currency, what has happened is legitimizing all the counterfeit currency. All the illegal notes have now become legal through this process of demolitization and recovery through the new notes. Number three, the terrorist attacks and unfortunate death of our armed personnel through terrorist attacks has not reduced but increased after the demolitization. Fourthly, the levels of corruption have gone up because now there is more money available in the economy in terms of the 2,000 rupee notes than that was available in the economy pre-demolitization through 1,000 rupee notes. So the quantum of corruption is actually virtually doubled with the same note with one note being used for this. So therefore we have listed out, at least I have listed out 14 questions which need to be answered and normally we would demand a white paper but since this is all about the Prime Minister's fight against black money I think there should be a black paper on demolitization that should be issued where all these 14 questions need to be answered by the Prime Minister. Who was the first one? Who decided on this demolitization exercise? This has been a bone of contention in the Parliament. The Minister during the debate had said that this was the decision of the RBI. The RBI when it deposed before the Parliamentary Committee said that they were informed that the government is going to take this action. Their opinion was asked and then they responded. A breach of privilege motion was filed by me against the Minister for misleading the House. Now since I am no longer an MP and since then Chairman who admitted that breach of privilege is no longer the Chairman I do not know what will be the fate of that breach of privilege but that breach of privilege is there on the records. So we would like to know and if that is the reason why Mr. Raghuram Rajan was eased out of the RBI Chairman. Number two, there are more than 100 people. One estimate puts it at 103, one puts it at 120 but more than 100 definitely have died in the queues in the ATMs and we draw their own money. There has been not a paisa of compensation offered by the government. Not an FIA file as to who is responsible for these debts. Third, it is now clear that more than 100% of the demonetised notes will come back. This is not accounting for the roughly around 16,000 crores that could not come back into the banking system by even legitimate people. Every one of us knows of the fact that there are NRIs who leave their cash here they keep coming back regularly but they could not come back in time to change those notes. Apart from this through now Bhutan, Nepal, cooperative banks, the various other areas they still have to come back legally they can. It's clear it may be more than 100%. In which case what does this mean? That this has been a very very successful money laundering scheme and this has been a legitimate manner in which corruption has been taken to much higher levels. Fourthly, in Bengal and elsewhere we have had instances, cases with proof of how BJP had deposited old currency notes as before the Prime Minister announced the demonetisation. Was this a pre-decided thing so that the BJP can gain as the advantage of other political parties? If this is not corruption what else is it? And what is this great talk of the Prime Minister from the Red Fort saying that this is a crusade against corruption? And he talked about three lakh crores of black money coming back or having unearthed three lakh crores of black money and now we know what it means. Fifth, the entire issue of digital economy, forcing the people to move to digitisation which is what the finance minister now is saying was the main reason for this demonetisation. That was not one of the reasons said by the Prime Minister when he announced demonetisation. But the subsequent change of the goalposts, shifting of the goalposts has meant to actually provide Bonanza for your digital transaction companies both foreign and domestic. The Prime Minister himself was there in the front page ads of the PTM. And in fact I remember in the parliament I said instead of Jai Hind the Prime Minister is now shouting Jio Hind. He was there in the ads of Jio Hind. So I mean is this a clear profit to these companies at the expense of the Indian people? Now sixthly, was this an exercise? We want the answer. Was this an exercise to cover up the fact that the government is refusing to go after mega-corporates who have taken loans from our nationalised banks and not repaying them? The case of Vijay Malaya and Kingfisher is there for all to see. Not one paisa has been recovered. The estimates are that nearly 11,000, 11 lakh crores of rupees including interest is the value of the total NPAs. Through demonetisation, was that the effort to try and save our banks from collapsing? That instead of giving a bailout package to the banks, which is what the government normally does when the nationalised bank is collapsing, was demonetisation the method of a bail-in package, whereby you, me, people are not allowed to recover their own money that is there in the banks. So by not allowing us to take our money out the bank's balance sheet is improved and they are stopped from collapsing. Was that the real effort? I have spoken about the counterfeit and the corruption in our issues, the terror I am talking about. Now who is responsible for the entire collapse of our informal economy? Informal economy contributes 40% of our GDP, 2 thirds of our employment opportunities. Now this has had an effect and the demonetisation of this government is fairly responsible for this. Secondly, this demonetisation has virtually crippled our agrarian sector, deepening agrarian distress. The promise is made to the farmers of one and a half times the MSP from production costs etc. none of them have been fulfilled. And this is resulting in present agitation that I met by police firing. In addition to all this, the cost of printing new notes was about 8000 crores. The cost of recalibrating your ATMs was about 35000 crores. Now the cost lost to the informal economy according to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, CMI, was about 150,000 crores. So nearly 2 lakh crores of additional expenditures that has gone in. Now who is paying for it, the Indian people? And in top of that, to glorify the Prime Minister and the demonetisation and the great crusade against corruption, you had reams and reams of multicolour ads, all your newspapers published. How much was spent on that? And if you add all this, all this is an extra burden for a completely, not only useless exercise from the government's point of view, but a very horrifying burden that has been imposed on the whole people. So we therefore want an accountability on this to be fixed and that those who are responsible for this must be punished. And all the needle of suspicion points to the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's office for the entire accountability. So issue a black paper to answer all these questions and let the country know why was this exercise undertaken? Other than, our assessment is very clear, other than legitimising corruption at high levels and taking it to levels which were either too unknown in our country. So that is what we want this government and I think it should answer immediately because they owe it to the country and to the people.
