RSS defends Modi govt, hails demonetisation move

Defending government’s decision of demonetisation, the RSS on Sunday said people is realising that banning high denomination notes will benefit the nation in the long run.

The views about demonetisation came out during three-day coordination meeting.  It was the first time that an RSS functionary had supported the move.  

It was learnt that a few Sangh affiliates had criticised the government’s decision.

RSS Prachar Pramukh Manmohan Vaidya asserted the issues related to economic policy were discussed at length and Sangh affiliates also put their views in the meeting.

“Earlier the country was in shock but now people are coming out of those earlier shocks and are realising that the decision of demonetisation will benefit the country in the long run,” RSS Prachar Pramukh said.

Vaidya further said that there were also discussions on promoting domestic small scale industry and unemployment in the country.

To another question on higher import of cheap Chinese goods, he said the RSS supports the Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) in its movement to boycott Chinese goods.

The meeting was called for better coordination among all RSS affiliates.

Besides RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, BJP president Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also attended the meeting.
