India4u: Indians are going through the pain of demonetization since November 09, 2016. Government is given all sorts of consolation that things will be better after December 30, 2016 (Last date fixed for demonetization). Surprisingly, donations to the political parties is still no touched and and why it is kept outside the purview of cashless society is still a mystery. It is high time such donations are also be included and laws must be amended to mandate that all donations to political parties can only be in digital format. Since 80% of the 1800 parties registered in India not having contested any election in the last few years, many of them look like setups to launder money, Mandating a digital trail will put paid to this rot. Government should not shield political parties and allow them indulge in black money during elections. Are authorities listening?. Regards.
