ROORKEE: Describing demonetization as a step towards making India an economic superpower, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said that only a courageous and far-sighted Prime Minister could have taken such a bold decision.
“Demonetization of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes is a decision taken in national interest. Can’t people of the country bear with a little inconvenience if that leads to better things?” Singh said while addressing BJP’s Parivartan yatra here today.
“It is a step that will help the country become an economic superpower. Only a courageous and far-sighted Prime Minister could have taken a decision like that,” Singh said.
Asking people to have some more patience, he said that within about a month they would be able to withdraw as much money from their accounts as they want.
Asking people to draw inspiration from leaders like Chandrashekhar Azad and Ashfaqulla Khan whose sacrifices in the prime of their youth led the country to attain independence, Rajnath said sometimes hard decisions have to be taken in national interest. (AGENCIES)
