Modi enforced financial emergency, says Uttam Kumar Reddy

Hyderabad: Congress workers took to the streets to protest the demonetisation of high-value currency.

TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy led the protests in the capital. Police blocked the protesters from taking out a rally from Abids and took them into custody for some time. Party workers raised slogans like “Modi hatao, desh bachao” and burnt his effigy.

Speaking to mediapersons at the Gandhinagar police station, Uttam Kumar Reddy accused the Prime Minister of enforcing  a “financial emergency” in the country by implementing an unplanned decision. He said that the demonetisation of high-value notes had brought misery to the common people, especially the poor, middle-class, housewives and farmers.
