PM Shri Modi considered the currency demonetization as the brave decision for national interest and said that Union Government is taking such tough decisions for all-round interest of 125 crore people of the nation. The opposition is only putting obstacles by making so-called protest. It is an important role of opposition to criticize the government in a democratic system. But, the protest against public developmental works as a part of politics is not appropriate.
Obstacles are being created in Lok Sabha, and the opposition know its’ reason. They are not allowing Lok Sabha proceedings because their bluff is going to be open. Thus, I have decided to speak my words in front of people not in Lok Sabha. This Government has taken the tough decision of demonetization to empower common people not for the wealthy people, he added.
Not needed to make queues in bank, but now on the banks will follow on the basis of e-payment and e-wallet and the new world of soft-cash will grab the anti-national activities such as corruption, terrorism and black money. We will have to defend our economy from the burden of hard currency. We are getting enormous response from people across the nation to grab anti-national activities such as terrorism, corruption and black money. The Union Government is taking tough steps for progress of common people. This government gave importance to nation interest, he added.
