Three years after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced demonetisation, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor Friday took a jibe at him for his "burn me alive, if I am wrong" remark. Tharoor also sought an apology from the prime minister stating that democracies don't burn people alive, but a simple apology for the decision would go a long way.
"No, @PMOIndia, democracies don't (& shouldn't) burn people alive. But a simple apology for the #DeMonetisationDisaster would go a long way. It's what I've been seeking from the British for years - a simple "sorry" to atone for the damage done to so many," Tharoor tweeted.
"Today is the 3rd anniversary of the worst self-inflicted wound in the history of the Indian economy, the #DeMonetisationDisaster. Let us never forget what was done to our country by the impulsive wrong-headedness of a vainglorious autocrat," Tharoor tweeted further.
He also took to Facebook to express his dissatisfaction with the government's note ban.
