PM praises people for participating wholeheartedly in demonetization drive
NEW DELHI : Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised the nation for wholeheartedly supporting demonetisation which he termed as ongoing Yagna against corruption, terrorism and black money. In a series of tweets, Mr Modi said, the government’s decision has several gains for farmers, traders and labourers who are the economic backbone of the country.
He said, though the move will bring a degree of inconvenience, it will pave the way for long term gains. Asserting that the country’s villages must get their due, the Prime Minister said, the progress and prosperity of rural India will no longer be curtailed by corruption and black money.
He said, this is an opportunity to embrace cashless payments and integrate latest technology in economic transactions. Mr Modi called upon the youth to become the agents of change and encourage more cashless transactions. He said, the people should together ensure that India defeats black money so that the poor, neo-middle class, middle class and future generations can benefit.
