Dr Thomas Franco, the vice president of All India Bank Officers Confederation, says Urjit Patel (RBI Governor) is morally responsible for causing crisis and deaths in the country. Franco said the government should have taken lessons from other countries and from its own demonetisation drive in 1978 when then RBI governor I G Patel had advised the government against the move.

D. Thomas Franco was speaking at a public meeting organised by Center for Financial Accountability and Public Finance and Public Accountability Collective.
