Spare a thought

The endless debate on the after-effects of demonetisation has, sadly, missed a point. Many account holders lost their lives while standing in serpentine queues for hours together to withdraw money, and for no fault on their part. Neither the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, nor the Bharatiya Janata Party has condoled the unfortunate deaths. No one has cared to enquire into the well-being of their distraught families. Have they received any compensation from the banks or the government? No one knows.
