While the RBI has only 700 tonnes of Gold as reserve against its debts , the indian community has stacked a massive 30,000 tonnes of gold in jewelry and blocks that has led to stagnation of foreign capital flow , export value and import of fuel etc at huge cost leading to pressure on Rupee and rising Dollar.
'If the patriotic indians can donate atleast 2 percent oftheir gold for the country the situation can be reserved ' says the former RBI cheif Duvvuri Subba Rao.
