Actor Anupam Kher took a dig at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Monday, asking whether the latter can sing the national anthem.

"Not doubting his Indianness, but I wish to see Rahul Gandhi sing our national anthem, want to see if he knows the words or not," said the veteran actor.

Kher, who was delivering speech at VCCI Expo in Vadodara, backed the governments demonetisation decision.

On being asked about common peoples plight post-demonetisation, the 61-year-old actor said the decision to ban Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 note was matter of secrecy and that is why it was not disclosed to anybody beforehand.

Condemning the Opposition for protesting against the demonetisation drive, he said they are showing intolerance on the matter.
