On 8 November 2016, Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi took one of the boldest steps by banning the currency note of Rs 1000 and Rs 500. Today India has completed one year of demonetisation.
Today, people are celebrating the first anniversary of demonetisation. Though the talk about whether demonetisation was right or wrong for the Indian economy is still going on. On one hand, Narendra Modi led NDA government is supporting their bold step, on the other it is being highly criticized by Opposition as they are observing the black day. The Opposition has claimed that the demonetisation destroyed Indian economy.
There are many who are opposing Narendra Modi's step and there are many who are supporting it. On one side Indian Prime Minister is calling demonetisation a brave step by telling the benefit of it, on the other hand, the opposition is calling it a thoughtless step. Apart from the politicians, even social networking site Twitter is divided on the matter.
Here is how the Twitterati are reacting to Black day vs Anti Black day:
On #AntiBlackMoneyDay let us resolve to fight together the menace of black money and corruption.Together we can make a corruption free India

👉 The Death of 150 innocent lives.
👉 The lakhs of Lost Jobs of our Youth.
👉 Crores of Black Money legally laundered to White!
👉 Inconvenience faced by the public at large.
Shameless Bhakths!

Thank u PM. #AntiBlackMoneyDay
RBI till date says they haven't finished counting the 500&1000 Rs notes but BJP is already declared for bhakts that it's #AntiBlackMoneyDay . What's the proof of black money found ? Any other achievement of this idiocy was at least some people understood you only serve the rich.

Questions to Modi:
👉 How many people were punished for hoarding Black Money?
👉 How much Black Money was actually recovered?
👉 Did it really stop terrorism or are you lying?#DhokaDiwas
