Piyush Goyal On Notes Ban

The Reserve Bank of India recommended the move, which was accepted by the cabinet and announced by PM Modi on Nov. 8, Power Minister Piyush Goyal told parliament in November.

As parliament debated the currency ban, union minister Piyush Goyal of the BJP thanked the opposition Congress for bringing up the surgical strikes conducted by the Indian Army across the Line of Control against terror bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in September.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's abrupt withdrawal of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes has "taught the corrupt a strong lesson," said minister Piyush Goyal in parliament this morning, responding to a scathing speech by the Congress' Anand Sharma about how the ban has hit the poor, while letting fat cats off the hook.
