On demonetisation, over which he has been under sustained attack, the Prime Minister asserted that the timing of the decision announced on November 8 last year was perfect. ”Some people have said why was this (demonetisation) decision taken when the economy was doing well...It was the best time for demonetisation as the economy was strong. He also emphasised that the decision was not taken in haste as contended by some sections. “Don't assume that Modi does anything in a haste. For that you will need to study Modi.”
