"Note ban was an attack on India's poor, farmers, labourers and small shopkeepers. It was an attack on India's unorganised economy...Did note ban finish black money? No. Did it benefit India's poor? No. The purpose of the note ban was to waive loans of rich people," the Wayanad MP said. "In addition to this, there was a hidden agenda behind the note ban; destroy India's unorganised economy by removing cash," he added.
