BALLIA: Union Home Minister
Rajnath Singh termed the scrapping of
Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes as an attack on terrorism and said Pakistan is worried over the move.
"The demonetisation of higher currency notes is a step towards making the country an economic super power. Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes gave strength to those patronising terrorism. PM has taken away this strength by this ban.
Fake Indian currency notes are printed in Pakistan and circulated in the country to destroy its economy," Rajnath said.
"Tuesday was a historic moment and with the ban on these notes, a surgical strike has been conducted on corruption. This can create inconvenience for a few days, but it is certainly going to help the country in becoming an economic superpower," Rajnath said and claimed that even poor are happy with the decision.
