Still remains a mystery, how a vehicle loaded with explosives could move around, undetected, in J&k, one of the most militarised regions in the world. What was more shameful than this was how BJP used this tragedy for electoral gains.

Art. 370 was abrogated. J&K stopped being a state. Was carved out into 2 UTs. With the objectives of bringing peace & development to the region. Result? We've ended with 2 UTs with seething discontent below the surface.

š¢ Thread: RBI Withdraws ā¹2000 Banknotes, Here's What You Need to Know! šµš¦
šRBI is withdrawing ā¹2000 banknotes introduced in 2016 after demonetization. These notes will still be legal tender, but their usage has decreased, so RBI wants to replace them with other denominations. #RBI #CurrencyWithdrawal
šThe decision is part of RBI's "Clean Note Policy" to ensure good quality banknotes in circulation. You can still use ā¹2000 notes for transactions, but it's better to deposit or exchange them by September 30, 2023. Banks will help with the process. #CleanNotePolicy

There were various points of entry for FICN into India. Nepal, Punjab, and Kerala being the hotspots.
Under the watch of UPA at the centre and UDF in Kerala, its ports saw the heaviest traffic of fake currency.
Container loads of cash flew through and moved to secret centres.

I have one and only 1 test of the worth and credibility of any economist / adviser who pontificates on India.
"Did you support #Demonetisation or did you call it out for what it was?"
That separates darbari economists who serve themselves from honest advisers who serve India.

I predict the Supreme Court hearing on #DeMonetisation will go the usual way. The petitioners will present evidece of wrong doing. The Govt will state on oath that it acted lawfully and consulted everybody - @RBI, @FinMinIndia experts, No one can prove they didnt.
The Court will find for the Govt. "The petitioners failed to prove their case or disprove the Govt's claims. The Govt acted in good faith. The petitioners are habitual trouble makers who suffered loss due to #NoteBandi and are now seeking recompense. Case dismissed"
The best outcome the pertitioners can expect would be is their case was dismissed without costs being awarded against them or with a call for their arrest and persecution.

We don't know who signed this affidavit. That's important. because if any part of it is untrue then he who signed it has committed perjury.
Anyway acc to news reports, the Govt had held "extensive consultation" with @RBI and "advance preparations" were made before #NoteBandi.

When Rs 2,840,000,000āi.e. Rs 284 croreāis seized from one businessmanās house in the countryās biggest ever tax haul, can there be any confusion on who he is, and whose money it is? In āNo.1 stateā #UttarPradesh, anything is possible. A thread. #PiyushJain #ShikharPanMasala
2ļøā£ Prime minister @narendramodi and UP chief minister @myogiadityanath blithely insinuate that the businessman #PiyushJain was a Samajwadi Party manāand that he was hoarding the cash for SP, the BJPās arch rival, for use in the upcoming state election. #ShikharPanMasala
3ļøā£ To be fair, when news of the raids in #Kanpur and #Kannauj was leaked on the night of December 24, Hindi newspapers @amarujala and @DainikBhaskar were quick to link #PiyushJain with āSamajwadi Itrā, a perfume developed for SP. Surprisingly, @JagranNews was more circumspect.

It will soon be the 5 year anniversary of #DeMon. Modi WhatsApp University's greatest messaging triumph is that India is still in denial about what a stupid, selfish, and destructive move that was. People were robbed of their own money for months and they barely protested.
And BTW, I don't say this in an abstract academic sense. I was personally impacted. Had to handle a family emergency situation involving a death across 2 continents and 5 cities, while having to fly to Bombay overnight a few weeks after #DeMon. It was so bizarre and rough!
It's the first time I sang that line truly meaning it - "Aye Dil hai mushkil jeena yahaan". For the first time in my living memory, India had gotten harder than easier. And it was just the start.
After that, every trip, India gets harder than easier.
But that's fascism for you.
