Addressing a press conference today in BJP Headquarter, President Shri Amit Shah applauded the efforts of the central government of banning Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes and lashed at the opposition parties.

BJP President said that the Prime Minister Shri Modi decision of banning Rs 500 and Rs 1000 old notes on the 8th midnight has brought the government at the decisive juncture on the fight against the black money menace. This decision has shocked the entire terrorists and their network for taking forward the anti-national agenda of propagating terror especially those who were using the modus of black money to fund terror. This decision is a death blow to such modules of terror. Those engaged in drug abuse and Hawala trade, business of counterfeit notes along with those with anti-national sentiments will be badly hit and take long time to recover. He further said that the world knows that this decision of Modi government pained those who were terrorists, naxalites, hawala operators, etc. On the other hand those with nationalist feeling and people of India and taxpayers have welcomed the decision.

Shri Shah informed that this decision of the government is much thought after doing the administrative exercise keeping the larger interest of the small traders, housewives, laborers and poor and the government will be looked after them. The small and medium traders and poor do not need to worry as till 31st December the old notes will be accepted by the all the scheduled bank. Therefore, there is no need to panic. He added that from the last two days the bank employees have been cooperating and helping public and appreciated their effort on behalf of BJP.

BJP president emphasized that people should support and propagate to the Prime Minister’s dream of clean and corruption free India along with clean life style. So far the feedback from across the country as they have welcomed the move had been very encouraging. We are constantly addressing the various gaps through intervention teams and solving it immediately. He further said that Government has freed the all toll tax bringing in relief to the people. He said this change has been made for the smooth running of the economy in a very sensitive manner by the central government. Speaking on the decision Shri Shah appealed the people of India to support the drive and bear with the pain as this has been for a greater cause. It was the need of the time to clean this country of counterfeit notes and bring out the black money because it was like a cancer to our economy.

Shri Shah commenting on the various political parties said that people have been watching the reactions of two-three parties. Those with links of terrorists, hawala operators, terrorists, drug lords, are feeling bad about it is understandable but the way political parties are behaving is quite shocking. For those who use to ask questions on black money till yesterday (7th November, 2016) are in desperation today, why? I would like to ask that why Mayawati, Mulayam Singh, Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal are perturbed? He said that this step will clean the political system and bring out the black money out of the election process.

Why are the political parties at pain now and supporting those who were running terrorist network, hawala operators and doing business of drugs in India, he asked congress, BSP, AAP and SP that are you their sympathizer or would you be defeating the cause of curbing the menace of black money in India, there four parties must answer this. By criticizing the move of Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi these parties have shown their true colors therefore stands exposed. Answering to the question Shri Shah said that I would like that India’s political parties should come to election with this agenda and let the people decide. This decision has not been taken keeping in mind of the impending elections but has been taken to cure the black money cancer. He said that the Modi government has done this in the interest of the country using his constitutional powers against the black money and corruption and those with while money doesn’t need to worry.

BJP president the decision on the banning Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes is not the only decision that government has taken but it is just the part of sustained efforts. First the government opened the accounts in the Jan-Dhan programme, then constituted SIT to probe the black money and collated the information, and got into treaty with many other countries of the world along with the open declaration scheme which lead to the disclosing of Rs 65000 cr. The large amount of black money and fake currency will come into the banking system which will boost the economy leading to lower inflation.

Shri Shah requested the media to take this message to people and encourage people so as to erase all doubts lead them to right direction. He thanked the bank employees for the fight against black money and corruption who have forgone a day leave and the people of the country who took the trouble for building a corruption-free India. He thanked once again Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi and the Central Govt. on the behalf of Bharatiya Janata Party.
