Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday morning said that those criticising demonetisation didn't have problem with government's preparedness, their problem was that they didn't get time to prepare.

Speaking at book release function in Parliament House Annexe on occasion of Constitution Day, he also said that the common citizen of India has become a soldier against corruption and black money. 

He further said, every person has a right to spend his or her money and no one can take anyone's money. Now people can spend through mobile technology and make use of digital transactions for ease of banking and move towards cashless economy. 

The prime minister also spoke the Costitution. He said that it is important to be connected with the spirit of the Constitution, not only be aware of the various articles of the Constitution. We celebrate January 26 with pride, but without November 26, January 26 is incomplete.
