Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi on demonetisation, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that former Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian has distanced himself from the decision to junk high-value currency notes, but he should have resigned on the issue and those guilty of the "huge scam" will be punished.

In a tweet, Gandhi said demonetisation, like the Rafale deal, was "a crime against India" and noted that former Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had distanced himself from the deal to purchase fighter jets to "save his skin."
