Modi terms demonetisation as 'yagna against corruption'
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday termed demonetisation as a "yagna against corruption, terrorism and black money" and said that he salutes the people of India for wholeheartedly participating in the yagna. "I always said that the government's measure will bring a degree of inconvenience but this short-term pain will pave way for long-term gains," Modi added.
