Union Ministers hail Centre's decision to withdraw Rs 500, Rs

Terming it a "surgical strike on corruption and black money," several Union Ministers today hailed the Centre's decision to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.
"SurgicalStrike by Shri @narendramodi ji on corruption and black money. Join your hands in #IndiaFightsCorruption," tweeted Information and Broadcasting Minister M Venkaiah Naidu.
Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore was also quick to laud the Prime Minister's decision.
"Revolutionary & Solid measure to root out spectre of Black Money.India stands behind PM @narendramodi ji spearheading reign of transparency," he tweeted.
HRD minister Prakash Javadekar too joined in to appreciate the move.

"This is surgical strike on corruption, fake currency and black money. This is real independence for common man and uncorrupt majority," he said in a social media post.

Hailing the move, Tourism and Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma tweeted, "A historic step to fight corruption, black money and terrorism. All Rs. 500 & 1000 note are no more legal tender."
Underling that everyone under the leadership of Modi was feeling secure in the country, he said the initiatives to stop black money, after the surgical strikes, show the courage of the Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal did not react to the development immediately, but retweeted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's tweet in which she termed the Centre's move to withdraw Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes as "draconian".
