    1 Uncorrected/ Not for Publication-02.02.2017 DC-GS/5.00/3O (MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN in the Chair) SHRI DEREK O’BRIEN (CONTD.): We are asking for withdrawal of deposit limits. Sir, yesterday, the Finance Minister made a speech. We did not come from our party to listen to his speech, nor did we come the previous day because we believe and our point was that for demonetization, Parliament was ignored and that was our way of stating over the last two days that you people don’t need Parliament because you have a one-man band. To quot from the Finance Minister’s speech--and I am going back to Para 55 of the President’s speech--the Finance Minister said, ‘a trusted custodian of public money.’ That is the Government’s role. I ask, Sir, are you the only trusted custodian of the public money because you are not allowing the public to withdraw their private money for which they pay tax? So we appeal and urge upon this Government to please stay away from platitudes. From tomorrow or Monday, please stop all the restrictions that you have placed on the withdrawal limit. One thing got confirmed after the speech, in this booklet of about 4,000 words, and the Finance Minister’s speech. The good thing, at least, which the Government has confirmed is that demonetization has not worked because if it had worked, they would 2 Uncorrected/ Not for Publication-02.02.2017 have given us some numbers.
