Govt to celebrate demonetization anniversary as 'Anti-Black Money' Day: Arun Jaitley

About reports about Hardik Patel meeting Rahul Gandhi secretly, Arun Jaitley says that it doesn't matter. Because some are Congress and others act for Congress. 

Arun Jaitley says that the figures clearly indicate that demonetization has lead to greater demonetization. 

Defending the tax structure prevalent in the country, Jaitley says it is extremely reasonable and the the least in the world. 

Weighing in on the bank recapitalisation decision, Arun Jaitley says that bank's accounts were completely destroyed between 2008 and 2012, and later attempts were made to fool the world. 

Arun Jaitley says mere entry of money in the financial system doesn't make it legitimate.

Arun Jaitley says that election commission can't be browbeaten by a disgruntled political party. He defends EC for delaying announcement of the Gujarat Assembly polls. 

Jaitley says that in their nation wide outreach programme, all the steps taken to counter graft will be highlighted. 

Jaitley says that all three missions of demonetization has been achieved. 

Hitting out at Congress, Finance Minister says that they have never taken single important step against black money. Hence he can understand discomfort of Congress in fight against black money, says Arun Jaitley. 

The Finance Minister also says massive clean-up operation of the economy cannot be done taking baby steps.
