 A criminal complaint was today filed before a city court against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee seeking an FIR against them for their recent protest against demonetization, claiming it has created law and order problems across the country. Metropolitan Magistrate Harvinder Singh put up for consideration on December 15 the complaint which claimed that they were themselves facing serious allegations and "by way of protest", they were trying to provoke masses against the demonetization, which was "aimed at strengthening India's economy". The complaint, filed by Hyderabad resident P N Arunkumar, has sought a direction to Delhi police for filing an FIR against both politicians under several sections of Indian Penal Code, including 153 (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, residence, language etc), 420 (cheating) and 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating). 

Amit Shah takes dig at opposition 

 Taking a dig at the opposition unity against demonetization, BJP chief Amit Shah said leaders such as Manmohan Singh, Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, Mulayam Singh and Mayawati were together now as their parties were hit hard by the Centre's move. "Modiji's move on black money has made leaders like Manmohan Singh, Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, Mulayam Singh, Mayawati and others uncomfortable. The glow on their faces has disappeared," he told the gathering at the BJP's 'Jan Jagaran Mahasamabesh'. 

Referring to former prime minister Manmohan Singh's criticism of the demonetization decision in Rajya Sabha, Shah said, "demonetization has pained Manmohan Singhji. Why will a person be pained if he or she is not affected?" He also wondered why would the opposition leaders be unhappy over the "measure against black money".
"Till November 7, they (opposition) were asking Prime Minister Narendra Modi what steps had been taken to curb black money. However, after November 8, they are saying why such a step," the BJP chief said and wondered how the opposition's "what" had suddenly become "why".

"I ask them (opposition), why are you so worried over Modiji's move against black money," he said, adding that parties with different ideologies had joined hands on the issue.
"When there is a flood, snakes and mongooses, rats and cats stay together on a tree. Now, Modi's demonetization flood has forced the leaders of the SP, Congress, Mamata, Mulayam, Mayawati and Kejriwal to take shelter under one umbrella. They are waiting for Modi's flood water (step against black money) to recede," Shah said.

Hailing demonetization as Modi's "master move" to put an end to black money in the country, the BJP chief said there should be no reason for the opposition to be afraid.
Shah also slammed Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's concern over cross-border terrorism. "Gone are the days of Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi when terrorists sneaked into India and wreaked havoc. Now, the Modi government has been giving a befitting reply to all such misadventures," he said.

He said Modi's strong political willpower and the Indian soldiers' valour could ensure a secret operation on the terrorist camps on the other side of the border.
Lauding the prime minister's effort to boost the country's image across the globe, Shah said different countries now welcomed India on their soil.
"Modiji has taken India's name to a new height," he said.

Mamata hits out at PM Modi 


Stepping up her attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on demonetization, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today called him "a bad politician and a worse administrator" who is spreading lies and relaxing even as the common people continue to suffer.  "Modi ji has lost all credibility. A bad politician and even worse administrator. He is lying," she said in a statement. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief, who is at the forefront of the opposition attack against the Modi government on the issue, said, "All opposition is united, and you are divided!" She also claimed that Rs 1.28 lakh crore had been lost forever due to the scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes. 

"Shocking that Rs 1.28 lakh crore has been lost forever due to note-ban only in 'transactions' in the country, according to CMIE, a top research body. World-famous Moody's says 'note ban will badly disrupt economic activity'," she said. "Common people are suffering miserably while Modi ji is relaxing and spreading lies," she said. Banerjee, who had staged dharna in Delhi on November 23, also met President Pranab Mukherjee yesterday on the issue. TMC would organise a rally in the city on November 28. The TMC supremo is scheduled to address a meeting in Lucknow on November 29 and in Patna the next day.
