While in Jammu, Nana Patekar praised Narendra Modi's move to demonetise old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes.
Asserting that demonetisation will not only hit terrorism and unrest, but also put an end to fake currency in circulation, actor Nana Patekar today praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's move and urged common man to bear the inconvenience for some time.
"Demonetisation is a good step. Due to demonetisation, terrorism will get a hit," Mr Patekar told reporters.
"As common people, we should tolerate the inconvenience for 10, 15 and 25 days, and it is a very minor difficulty caused for us (on account of demonetization), which is minor in terms of that of the nation (is going through due to parallel economy of black money and fake currency)", he added.
Mr Patekar, who visited BSF schools and interacted with schools children and later paid tributes of BSF martyrs said "Those who used to give Rs 500 note to engineer a stone pelting (by young children), has stopped.
Calling the initiative a big blow to fake currency being printed and send by Pakistan into the country, the actor said,
"The money (fake) which used to be printed (in Pakistan) and comes from across the border that constituted 30 percent of fake notes in our currency. We now got rid of it."
