Popular actor urges people to support PM
on Nov 17, 2016
In growing support from the Bollywood fraternity, popular actor Nana Patekar has supported Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation move, saying it will taste like sweet tea for the honest in the country. "Demonetisation is a good step. Due to demonetisation, terrorism will get a hit," Mr Patekar told reporters. "As common people, we should tolerate the inconvenience for 10, 15 and 25 days, and it is a very minor difficulty caused for us (on account of demonetization), which is minor in terms of that of the nation (is going through due to parallel economy of black money and fake currency)", he added. Patekar, who was on a day long visit to the Indo-Pak International border in Hiranagar and Kathua, appreciated the hardships and sacrifices being made by the BSF Jawans during the recent cross border firing. Calling the initiative a big blow to fake currency being printed and send by Pakistan into the country, the actor said, "The money (fake) which used to be printed (in Pakistan) and comes from across the border that constituted 30 percent of fake notes in our currency. We now got rid of it."
