Both the houses of Parliament have been adjourned till noon as a united opposition demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks that those questioning the demonetisation drive are favoring black money.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier in the day defended the government's decision to demonetise 500 and 1000 rupee currency notes and said that some are angry on the initiative as they were not informed before the decision was considered.
Speaking after releasing two books on Constitution in New Delhi, Prime Minister Modi said those who are criticizing the demonetisation move don't have problem with the government's preparedness, but they are having problems because they didn't get time to prepare for turning their black money into white.
