Lecture

JNU professor Arun Kumar, at the Vinodanandan Prasad Singh memorial lecture on Wednesday, criticised the Centre's demonetisation move as it focused on black currency, fake notes and terror funding, but overlooked that black money is present in other forms like gold, dollars, land and diamonds. The event was presided over by Pannalal Surana, a socialist from Maharashtra.
