30 days of demonetisation: Short term pain will pave way for long term gains, says PM Narendra Modi

Amid growing demand of the Opposition for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s participation in the demonetisation debate in Parliament, the PM took it to Twitter to share his views on the currency ban move taken by the government to curb black money.

A series of tweets from PM Modi come amid the protest by the Opposition leaders, who on Thursday observed black day to mark one month of demonetisation.

Here is what all PM Modi said:

#Together, we must ensure #IndiaDefeatsBlackMoney. This will empower the poor, neo-middle class, middle class & benefit future generations.

#My young friends, you are agents of change who will make India corruption free & ensure more cashless transactions.

#We also have a historic opportunity to embrace increased cashless payments & integrate latest technology in economic transactions.

#No longer will the progress & prosperity of rural India be curtailed by corruption & black money. Our villages must get their due.

#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.
