“Now in Chandigarh, people taught a lesson that they should not oppose the anti-black money fight. Earlier, they gave a message through municipal council polls. They will receive more such messages,” the Minister added.
Naqvi reiterated that “given those below poverty line” mainly include minorities, digital transactions “which eliminate role of middlemen minting money” will prove beneficial for the weaker sections.
“For instance, we started distributing scholarships to minority students through direct benefit transfer (DBT). The result is: we could eliminate middlemen and plug 50 per cent leakage. Three crore students were benefited thus,” he added.
