This refers to your demonetisation article. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has called it the "organised loot" and "legalised plunder" of the common people. While he is partially right as people's hard-earned money saved in banks is not available to them for the time being, what about the scams and mismanagement of the country's affairs during his regime? Why did he remain silent? Besides, he was an economist. By remaining silent and not acting on his duties as PM, he was responsible for the country's slow development and even for the downfall of Congress. In allowing this he acted like a true politician. If he was unable to act independently on the right track due to any reason, the right thing would have been to resign as PM.
