"When I wanted suggestions from people ahead of this Mann Ki Baat session, most of them wanted me to speak about the Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes ban in detail. I want to repeat again that this was not an easy call. I had told you earlier also that the initiative will put forward lot of troubles. It will take sometime to overcome the problems," Modi said.
"We have been battling with the disease of black money for the last 70 years. The solution to such a prolonged disease can never be an easy one. I understand the problems faced by you and we are working hard to solve the same, " said the PM.
Modi reiterated that the decision to ban high value currency note was taken to benefit the poor section of the society, the farming class and those who had been deprived all along.
