Filmaker Prakash Jha praises PM Modi over demonetisation

Indian film producer and actor Prakash Jha has praised PM Modi’s decision to abolish Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency to curtail black money may be creating problems right now, but the idea deserves a chance.

The 64-year-old “Jai Gangaajal” director said this may be the way to clean the corrupt system.

“Transiting to a cashless system is a gigantic & painful process, but that’s the way to clean up the system! The idea deserves a chance!” Jha tweeted.
