Black Money Bill Budget Session Of Parliament

Left leader Sitaram Yechury borrowed from a meme being shared on social media to take a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he criticised the way the government has pulled Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes to combat black or untaxed money.

The government has used the extended session of parliament to pass a new bill in the Lok Sabha as part of its efforts to persuade the nation that it is serious about tackling the problem of "black money".

As it struggles to push its land reforms past an aggressive opposition, the Modi government has firmed up a strategy that will turn the rival parties into bystanders when it brings another key legislation, the Black Money bill, for Parliament's approval.
