Voice quivering, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi dramatically countered criticism of his surprise ban on most currency in circulation in the country, a bold attack on corruption that crippled business as millions scrambled for cash to meet even basic needs.

“The economic affairs of the nation has been hampered by this decision, crores of small and medium scale businesses have been shut in the wake of demonetisation”.

“We could not have done it before November 8 otherwise there were chances of information being leaked”. People are facing some issues, but we should focus more on the long-term benefits of this drive.

“If the earlier Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes will be replaced by new Rs 500/Rs 1,000/Rs 2,000 notes, how is it demonetisation? If after December 30, there are shortcomings in my work or there are mistakes or a bad intention found in my work, I will be prepared for the punishment that the country decides for me”, he said.
