Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that he took the 'historic' step of demonetising ₹500 and ₹1,000 currency notes in the interest of honest citizens who deserve a better India. "Corrupt practices and black money have to be eliminated... All of us have to work shoulder to shoulder and create a prosperous, inclusive and corruption-free India," PM Modi said.
