Ahmedabad: Emphasizing that the currency demonetization move was a brave decision for national interest, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the opposition parties were only putting obstacles by making so-called protests. “It is an important role of opposition to criticize the government in a democratic system.

This was Modi’s first visit to Gujarat after announcing demonetisation move.

Hence, I have decided to speak my words in jan sabha since I am not being allowed to speak in Lok Sabha. This government has taken the tough decision of demonetization to empower common people not for the wealthy people," he added.
