AGARTALA, Jan 18 (TIWN): Congress gheraoed the Reserve Banks of India offices in Delhi and 25 other RBI offices across the country from Wednesday as part of its protest against demonetisation and "destruction of RBI's autonomy". Tripura Pradesh Congress also participated in that protest.

In this regard National Leader Deepa Dasmunsi arrived in Tripura and also became a part of the protest. 

"Modi government's and RBI's decision today to not lift the weekly withdrawal restrictions of Rs 24,000 is a treachery with people of India," said Dasmunsi.

"Failure to restore money supply has paralyzed India's economy leading to massive loss of jobs and closure of businesses on a everyday basis," she added.

She also said: "RBI, instead of playing the role of an independent monetary regulator and a key denominator of economic growth, has become a mere post office following the diktats of Modi government like a captive puppet. 

"Destruction of autonomy and integrity of institutions, essential to our democratic fabric, has become a sine qua non for PM Modi's unitary style of functioning,"  Dasmunsi added.
