Lockdown repeats demonetisation error on bigger scale: Haasan in letter to PM

Actor-politician Kamal Haasan on Monday wrote an open letter to PM Narendra Modi criticising him for what he called an "ill-planned 21-day lockdown" to control coronavirus spread. "My biggest fear is that the same mistake of demonetisation is being repeated at a much bigger scale," said Haasan. The lockdown is leading to loss of life and livelihood, he added.
