NEW DELHI: Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the National Population Register (NPR) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), and said these exercises would prove to be demonetisation 2.0. Speaking to reporters at the Congress headquarters here on the sidelines of an event organized to mark the party's 135th foundation day, Rahul Gandhi said, "With these, the government wants to make the poor stand in queues, and help its 15 industrialist friends." "They will ask the poor to show documents, but would not ask industrialists for it," he said and added, it was an exercise to divert the public attention from real issues. "It's demonetization 2.0," he said. (IANS)
