Gurugram, Dec 8 (IANS): The Central Information Commission (CIC) has directed authorities to reveal how many Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 notes were printed daily after demonetization till November 30, 2016, an RTI activist said on Saturday.

Gurugram-based Right To Information (RTI) activist Harinder Dhingra had sought the information regarding the number of notes printed daily from November 9, 2016 to November 30, 2016.

Dhingra applied for the information through RTI Act on February 23, 2017.

  

The Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) earlier refused to share the information, Dhingra told IANS. The second appeal was filed on August 16, 2017.

Dhingra said that after a hearing on November 30, 2018, Information Commissioner Sudhir Bhargava on December 5, 2018 issued an order to provide the information.

"Number of notes printed on daily basis from November 9, 2016 to November 30, 2016 was not so sensitive as to attract the exemption provisions under section 8(1)(a) of the RTI Act, therefore CPIO has been directed to provide the information sought," the order read.

Orders on banning the then existing Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes were implemented from the midnight of November 8, 2016.

    The Prime Minister office will reply to this under the national security this information can't be shared to the public.

    Since two years RBI is counting the old currency failed to disclose the success of 'Demonetisation'. Nor Prime Modi who wanted initial 50 days to correct mess he created to resign. More than 150 people have died many household ladies who saved for retirement and daughters marriages PM Modi's split decision has destroyed them all in seconds.

    The new currency printing is already costing more than the face value to the government. Now Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh economical wing Swadeshi Jagaran Manch wanted the RBI reserves of 13 lakh cores to use in 2019 Lok Sabha elections for 'Aaache Din'.

    If 'Demoneitasation' is success why Prime Minister Modi is Terrified of Holding Even a Single Press Conference in last four and half years in neutral venue represented by the International and national journalists?

    Demonetisation is nothing but one of the biggest scam of all time in which entire 'black money' is converted to White. Bellary mine mafia Janardhan Reddy's daughter wedding at the mid of demonetisation is one of the classic examples of 'organised loot'.
