Modi should accept note ban was wrong move: Kamal Hassan


Chennai, Oct 18 (IANS): Apologizing for supporting demonetisation, actor Kamal Hassan said he will again salute Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he also accepts that the note ban was a mistake.

In an article in the Tamil magazine Anandavikatan, the actor said accepting and correcting mistakes is a marker for great leaders which Mahatma Gandhi was able to do.

Hassan said Modi should not be stubborn in arguing that the rabbit he had caught has three legs.

On his initial support for the demonetisation of 1,000 and 500 rupee notes, Hassan said he had welcomed the move and tweeted that it should be supported regardless of party affiliation.

"I thought people should bear with minor irritants in the goal to eradicate black money," he wrote.

The actor said his friends and those who know economics had called him and criticised his support for demonetisation.

Hassan said he later thought that demonetisation was good but the manner in which it was implemented was wrong.

He said now there were voices saying demonetisation was a deception and the weak response from the government raises serious doubts about the scheme.

    that will never take place its below his dignity to accept his mistakes. if he has done so in so many events then there would have been development, jobs n low pricess. some of the top economist said its a blunder, world got to learn much from this hurried decission but NAMO n AJ say thats the best step taken by the govt. luckly they not said best step only for the govt.

    Only Statesmen like Vajpayee, Man Mohan Singh would accept such blunders and apologise to the people. What about the over 100 deaths that occured due to demonitisation. There should be accountability or else we will soon become a Banana Republic.

    When FEKU came to know, Gujarat voters are angry with him for implementing GST, FEKU said "Congress is equally responsible for GST" (earlier, he used to take credit for GST!)

    So, do not force him on demonetization matter... he will say "Congress is equally responsible for Demonetization"!

    Demonization wasn't wrong.

    Demonization without pre-planning and arrangements for replenishment to genuine persons,
    Demonization without making compulsory alternative payment mode to all was wrong; which affected the economy.
    He should have ensured that system of transactions should not collapse!
