New Delhi: Rajasthan Congress MLA Bharat Singh has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking for removal of Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s portrait from Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 currency notes. The demand come under the logic that the high denomination currency is being used in corruption and in bars.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am writing this letter on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and the 75th anniversary of our independence. A lot of development has been done in these 75 years but there is large scale corruption also in the society,\u201d Bharat Singh wrote in his letter.<\/p>\n
According to the sources, Singh wrote in his letter, \u201cIt is my suggestion that a picture of Gandhi\u2019s spectacles can be used on \u20b9500 and \u20b92,000 currency notes. Ashok Chakra can also work effectively for this purpose\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cMahatma Gandhi symbolises truth and Gandhi\u2019s picture is printed on \u20b9500 and \u20b92,000 notes, which are generally used in practices of corruption and in exchange for bribes. The high-value currency notes are being used in bars which are a disgrace to Mahatma Gandhi\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He further demanded through his letter, \u201cGandhi\u2019s portrait should be removed from \u20b9500 and \u20b92,000 currency notes and it should be used only on small currency notes which are used by the poor\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
