This is a move not only to restrict freedom but more importantly to restrict socio economic mobility. This is nothing but a way to super impose a caste system on the country to make sure the rich stay rich and everyone stays poor. There are many other ways to make sure the products offered are safe for investors than banning investors from using them unless they are
Banning retail investors from trading certain instruments is like like throwing an abuse victim in jail to protect them from their abuser. The only reason that this instrument performed so poorly over the last 2 years was the excess liquidity in the markets, and the pump and dump scams often indoctrinated into CNBC viewers.
