“I assure you that this is not the end. This is just the beginning in our fight against corruption. We have to win this war against corruption and black money. There is no question of stopping or going back in this fight. With wishes of 1.25 billion people, there is no question of retreat,” he said.
Modi sought the cooperation of the public in making the “war on corruption” a success and said the wrongdoings of some were being caught only with the support of common people who were coming forward with concrete information about hoarders.
Lauding people’s role, he said, “They have not only braved hardships, but have also powerfully responded to those limited few who have been trying to mislead them.”
Adding, “It was my earnest wish that the ongoing campaign against corruption and black money, including the realm of political parties and political funding, be discussed extensively in the Parliament. Had the House functioned properly, there would have been comprehensive deliberation.
“Some people are spreading rumours that political parties enjoy all kinds of concessions. These people are absolutely in the wrong. The law applies equally to all. Whether it is an individual, an organisation or a political party, everyone has to abide by law and one will have to,” he said.
