Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation move is a “courageous” experiment to eliminate black money, corruption and counterfeit currency, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Amar Singh said. Though it was implemented without making “proper arrangement”, but sudden implementation of the move helped preventing “adjustment” of black money and unaccounted cash by hoarders, he said here on Friday. “As a countryman (I am) proud to have such a Prime Minister who (is) so dedicated and adamant to root out corruption,” he said. However, he registered his protest against the mismanagement in implementing the demonetisation, saying he was pained to the see the common people suffering due to it. The survey found that even people who were facing problems said they could bear the hardship for a few days and will support the Modi-led government’s demonetisation scheme to curb corruption, black money and terrorism.
