Rahul attacks PM on currency shortage, says country in grip of ‘note ban’ terror again

New Delhi, Apr 17: Congress President Rahul Gandhi today said the “terror of note-ban” has again gripped the country due to reported shortage of cash in several states and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of destroying the country’s banking system with his demonetisation decision.

The Congress chief, who is in his Parliamentary constituency Amethi, took to Twitter to attack Mr. Modi, alleging he “snatched” the ₹500 and ₹1000 currency notes from every Indian’s pocket and “gave” it to Nirav Modi, but was neither speaking a word about it nor facing Parliament.

“Modi ji has destroyed the banking system of the country,” Mr. Gandhi said on the reported cash crunch in some ATMs.

He alleged that Narendra Modi did not speak a word “after Nirav Modi fled the country with ₹1,000 crore.”

“The Prime Minister has not uttered a single word after he made the entire country stand in a queue, snatched ₹500 and ₹1000 currency notes from your pocket and put it in Nirav Modi’s pocket. He fears standing in Parliament too,” he said.

The terror of noteban has gripped the country again as the cash in various banks has gone dry, Mr. Gandhi alleged and used the hashtag “CashCrunch” with his tweet in Hindi.

“Understand the deceit of Noteban, your money in Nirav Modi’s pocket. Modiji’s ‘Mallya maya’, the terror or noteban is again spreading. The country’s ATMs are again empty, what has been done to the country’s banks,” he tweeted.

Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala also took a dig at the Prime Minister, saying “while the ‘saheb’ is enjoying abroad, the country’s people are looking for cash in banks.”

Several parts of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and poll-bound Karnataka have reported shortage of currency and ATMs running down, which the government today attributed to unusual spurt in demand in last three months.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the “temporary shortage” in certain states is being “tackled quickly” and that there is “more than adequate” currency in circulation.

Congress leader Jaiver Shergill said that news is pouring in from Bihar, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Jharkhand that there is no money in the country’s banks.

“The Congress party demands that the money that the BJP has earned from cleaning off the banks should be returned and the ATMs should be made operational,” he said.

“BJP and friends have stolen the country’s money, that’s why there is no money in the country’s ATMs,” he alleged.

Washington, Jan 3: US President Donald Trump ordered the killing of Iran Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani, who died in Baghdad "in a decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad," the Pentagon said Thursday.

"General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region. General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more," the Department of Defense said.

Following Soleimani's death, Trump tweeted an image of the US flag without any further explanation.

"US' act of international terrorism, assassinating General Soleimani—the most effective force fighting Daesh (ISIS), Al Nusrah,Al Qaeda, is extremely dangerous & foolish escalation. US bears responsibility for all consequences of rogue adventurism." said Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.

Dubai, Jan 10: Iran denied on Thursday that a Ukrainian airliner that crashed near Tehran had been hit by a missile, Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei said in a statement, according to state TV.

"All these reports are a psychological warfare against Iran. All those countries whose citizens were aboard the plane can send representatives and we urge Boeing to send its representative to join the process of investigating the black box".

New Delhi, Aug 8: The Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan on Friday directed the governments of four states -- Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana, to analyse the factors driving the high COVID-19 mortality and devise ways and means to reduce the mortality.

Apart from the higher case mortality, these states account for 17 per cent of India's active cases, high daily new cases, low tests per million, and high confirmation percentage.

In a high-level virtual meeting, Bhushan advised state administrations to adhere to measures suggested by central advisories and guidelines to prevent and reduce mortality due to coronavirus infection.

According to the health ministry, 16 districts in these four states are reporting maximum virus fatalities. It includes -- Ahmedabad and Surat in Gujarat; Belagavi, Bengaluru urban, Kalaburagi and Udupi in Karnataka; Chennai, Kanchipuram, Ranipet, Theni, Thiruvallur, Tiruchirappalli, Tuticorin and Virudhnagar in Tamil Nadu; and Hyderabad and Medchal-Malkajgiri in Telangana respectively.

"The districts were advised to ensure that the advisories, guidelines and clinical treatment protocols issued by the Health Ministry are adopted and effectively implemented to reduce the mortality among COVID-19 patients and other preventable deaths among all sections of the people, particularly those with co-morbidities, pregnant women, the elderly and children," said the health ministry official.

"States were advised to ensure optimum capacity utilization of testing labs, increase tests per million population and reduce confirmation percentage, in addition to ensuring timely availability of ambulances with target zero refusal," the official further said.

"States were also advised to analyze availability and need for projected beds and oxygen, and plan in a timely manner. States and district administration have also been advised to ensure good infection prevention and control practices to control infection in the healthcare workers," said the official.

Principal Secretary (Health) and MD (NHM) from the four States along with district surveillance officers, district collectors, commissioners of the municipal corporation, Chief Medical Officers, and Medical Superintendent of Medical Colleges participated in the meeting.
