Note ban destroyed terrorism: Modi
Dehradun, Dec 28, 2016, PTI:
Under relentless Opposition attack over demonetisation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday defended the exercise undertaken by his government. He claimed that it “destroyed” terrorism, drug mafia, human trafficking, and the underworld “in a trice”.
Modi also rejected Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s charge that his government was only benefiting the big corporate entities and the rich, insisting that it was focused on working for the poor.
“The demonetisation drive destroyed terrorism, drug mafia, human trafficking and the underworld in a trice,” the prime minister asserted while addressing BJP’s ‘parivartan maharally’ in poll-bound Uttarakhand.
Targeting parties opposing the note ban, he claimed some people are upset as his decision has struck the “ring leader of thieves”.
“Did you give me an unfragmented mandate in 2014 to cut ribbons and lighting ceremonial lamps only at inauguration ceremonies? Didn’t you vote for me to combat and end corruption. Shouldn’t we fight the evil with all our might?” he asked.
With the decision to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, the black money stored in cupboards and under mattresses is now coming to banks and to the people, he said, adding that he is fulfilling his duty of a ‘chowkidar’ (watchman) to get rid of black money and “dark hearts” which have ruined the country.
“In some, corruption is in the blood. They used back door to convert the money and thought Modi cannot see. “But we knew and now they are being caught,” he said referring to various raids by law enforcement agencies on black money hoarders.
