Hot Cash Across Borders

What an official statement the Govt of India is giving for a minister who is travelling across borders with Rs. 8 lakh cash!! Joke..ahnn?

"It was basically because of his ignorance that he was carrying the currency. We felt that the amount - around Rs 8 lakh - is not so excessively high for holidaying with family and paying all the bills. Yes, he should have carried credit cards and other things, but he is not used to having credit cards. So all his requirement he was carrying in cash. It was in his personal capacity, not official since he was travelling with his family on a holiday, " said Lalthara adding that the state government was in touch with the Centre on the matter.
