Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday criticised Congress leader P Chidambaram over his comments on the withdrawal of Rs 2,000 currency note and said to cast aspersions on matters of this nature "does not augur well with the former finance minister".

She was speaking to reporters in Mumbai as a part of press conferences being held by Union ministers in different parts of the country on the completion of nine years of the Narendra Modi government.
