Union Minister Vijay Goel has congratulated PM Narendra Modi and the
countrymen for the bold move to stop circulation of ₹500 and ₹1000 currency notes. In a surprise move
which stole the thunder from the US Presidential Elections, PM Modi addressed the nation last night and
stated that the move was aimed to curb the menace of black money and the use of counterfeit notes to fuel
terrorism and other ills. Goel took to Twitter and hailed the decision as a “surgical strike on black money”.
Goel further stated that though people will find it difficult to deal with the situation in the initial phase but
the various methods taken by the government for the time being will help the citizen. “Any bold move
aimed to keep the nation clean and corruption free causes trouble to those who work with disguised notions,
but PM’s move will strengthen our economy and help to tackle the menace of terror funding and counterfeit
currency.” He further mentioned that the response has been phenomenal and people have hailed the historic
step taken by the government. “Those living life honestly are happy with this decision”, he added.
PM Modi during his address to the nation stated that the government has been fighting the menace of black
money and corruption ever since it assumed power two years ago. He also urged people to help government
in its fight against fake currency and black money.
