Currency ban decision taken by Centre in interest of poor: Modi
"The decision taken by the Government on currency notes is in the interest of the poor and the middle class," Modi said.
"The poor & middle class citizens do not have access to black money. They are honest citizens and our efforts will help them," he said.
He said the decision was taken to safeguard the future of the youth of India.
"This decision on currency notes was not taken to trouble anyone. This decision was taken for safeguarding the future of our youth," Modi said.
