Bengaluru: Olympic bronze-medallist boxer and Rajya Sabha MP M C Mary Kom today supported the government’s decision to demonetise 500 and 1000 rupee notes, saying the move will stall the juggernaut of corruption.
“I am with Prime Minister Modiji in his endeavour to check black money and corruption. This will do good to the people and the country by stalling the juggernaut of black money and corruption,” she told reporters after unveiling “Run for Happy Schools” theme for Bengaluru Midnight Marathon (BMM) here.
