Mumbai: Shiva Sena today hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, saying ever since the surgical strikes, ceasefire violations are on and time will tell whether the second one now on black money will be successful.
The BJP ally in the state government said one will have to adopt a wait and watch approach to see how far does Modi’s “second strike” against black money goes to curb illicit trade of funds.
It said corruption is a mindset and until that changes, the disease of black money cannot be checked completely.
“Modi had last month conducted a sudden surgical strike against Pakistani terror launch pads and now this strike against black money. The second strike has caused chaos among the masses as this strike too was sudden,” Sena said in an editorial in its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
