2024 LS polls: Punjab Cong affairs-in-charge Yadav to be in Chandigarh for 3 days
The recently appointed Punjab Congress affairs in-charge Devendra Yadav will begin his three-day tour of Punjab on Tuesday.
The Punjab Congress on Friday scaled up its anti-demonetisation drive in line with the all-India campaign launched by the Indian National Congress, demanding immediate steps by the Narendra Modi government to rectify the situation triggered by the note-ban.
Addressing mediapersons here, Congress leader and former Union Minister of State for Finance J D Seelam said the party was submitting memorandum to all DCs in the state, seeking the truth on the demonetisation move and its impact on the people.
The memorandum against `Corruption & Demonetisation’, which has already been submitted to the prime minister, demands the conduct of an independent inquiry into the corruption and bribery allegations in the Birla and Sahara papers cases.

It also demands compensation for recouping the losses suffered due to demonetisation.
Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of misleading the people by projecting the drive as a battle against black money, terror financing and corruption, Seelam said the Congress wanted to know from him how much black money had come into the banks as a result of demonetisation.
