See, poors will have to suffer, riches have already shifted their amounts 'to foreign countries.....they are safe....poor's had some amount of hard earned money that they will have to lose for unwanted reason....the curse of these people will surely fall on these bloody useless politicians....
I haven't seen any politicians standing in line in front of banks to withdraw money....why why why....have they been given a chance of exchanging their money earlier than the announcement, public needs to know.....this is very bad...
people should teach them nice lesson in next election....
Don't worry let him die . don't disturb our Modiji he is enjoying his Japan trip.
