On Saturday, Congress President Rahul Gandhi, who is currently in Malaysia, was asked the same thing when he was talking to an audience. Someone in the audience asked the Gandhi scion how he would have rolled the note ban out, as opposed to how it actually was implemented.

“If I was the Prime Minister, and someone had given me a file with demonetisation written on it, I would have thrown it in the dustbin,” said Gandhi adding that, “Out through the door and into the junkyard, because that’s what I think should be done with demonetisation.”

Earlier in the day, Gandhi met business executives of Indian origin in Malaysia and said he “valued actionable solutions over rhetoric”.

He also assured them that “their interests will be suitably addressed in his party’s manifesto”.

Gandhi met the business executives of the Malaysia India Business Council, Asean India Business Council, Malaysian Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Consortium of Indian Industries in Malaysia. He also met Subramaniam Sathasivam, president of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) in Kuala Lumpur.
