| Parrikar tears into supporters of Hawala money, terror funds | | In defence of PM Modi | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 20: Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar is known for plain-speaking. He doesn't hide things. He says what he wants and without mincing words. He again spoke plainly and this time he targeted all those who had been raising a hue and cry against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to demonetize currency notes of high denominations - Rs 500 and Rs 1000.
Tearing into the critics of the Prime Minister's decision, Parrikar said that "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's November 8 'bombshell' has attacked the four 'asuras'(demons) of black money, corrupt-wealth, terror money and drug money in one go" and added that black money, corruption money, terror money and drug money, the four asuras, were hurting the country. "Black money, corruption money, terror money and drug money, the four asuras, were hurting the country. One of the reasons for perennial terrorism in Kashmir, terrorism in the North East, Naxalite terror is the supply of such fake notes. Fake currency coming in the country from Pakistan is not something new. But, on November 8 at 8 pm, Prime Minister Modi dropped a bomb and in one go ousted all fake currency out of circulation," he said while addressing the BJP's "Vijay Sankalp" rally in run up to the State Assembly elections of early 2017, in Thivim village of north Goa. He claimed that "thousands of crore worth fake currency was being pumped in from an enemy country to destabilise India".
Parrikar made a startling discloser that there could be one lakh crore had been pumped into India to destabilize India. "The figure could even be a lakh crore, was being pumped in by an enemy country to destabilise our economy. Our enemy was trying to ruin our economy by inducting these fake notes from several borders, including from Bangladesh, Nepal and Kashmir. It is not just about carrying out terror strikes in Kashmir and killing people, but they were incessantly carrying out attacks on the economy too," he said.
On November 8, Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the nation had also said that India's four enemies were black money, fake currency, counterfeit money, terrorism and time had come to act otherwise these four enemies will destroy India.
It is surprising that the parties like the Congress, the AAP, the TMC, the SP, the BSP, the Left, the JDS, and even Shiv Sena have adopted a negative approach towards the Prime Minister's major onslaught on black and fake money. Almost all the surveys which were conducted by various agencies after November 8 suggest that an overwhelming majority of Indian population is with Prime Minister Modi. |
