Post Demonetization: Tharoor’s Views


            Congress parlous parliamentarian Shashi Tharoor seems to be a child prodigy who knew how to impressively debate a topic; that has proved once again while replying queries from Indian Express staff.  In his opinion there are inherent flaws in its implementation in astonishingly incompetent manner.  “Nobody in the world has done this” he said while commenting on illegality of old currency in just three and half hours.  The size of new notes and re-calibration of 2.5 lakh ATMs by 55 thousand engineers makes government amateurish, he commented.  He has objection on changing of the goalpost.  His masterstroke on BJP government is “there has been a complete disavowal of responsibility and culpability in these failures, which is also troubling”.  Stacking of brand new notes by few, while ordinary public in long queue is another failure, he expressed.  He also objected on absence of infrastructure for cashless economy.  His last comment was “ambitions are exceeding groundwork and ability to fulfill it”.

            Though the party he represented is in complete befuddlement, his adherence to party’s ethos is noteworthy.  His stand on parliamentary democracy is par excellence, and reflects his upbringing in a family where a tenet of life is more important than the position acquired.  “My voters have not sent me for disruption” indicates the stature and richness of his eternal views.  Disruptions have become deeply en-grained in our parliamentary practice, he said in the saddest tone.  His body language, mastery over oratory and demeanor reflects the ideal personality he possesses.  To strengthen the parliamentary democracy such towering personalities do require in large number; what a shame, ruling and opposition parties are behaving in irresponsible manner.
