Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn't help but laugh briefly during a fierce attack by the opposition on his decision to ban 500 and 1,000-rupee notes. It was Naresh Agrawal of the Samajwadi Party that provided the punchline. During a debate on demonetisation in the Rajya Sabha, Mr Agrawal joked that "There are those who say the PM did not take (even) Arun Jaitley into confidence (about the notes ban). If Arun ji had known, he would have whispered this to us, he knows me."
