Sharma termed the demonetization move as historic as it aims at curbing corruption, black money, terror funding and putting a check on counterfeit currency.
Participating in the debate, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge tried to corner the government on the issue of demonetization.
He accused the government of implementing it without any concrete planning resulting in hardship to the common man.
Kharge also sought to know from the government how much black money has been unearthed post- demonetization.
He also said the government’s move towards leading the country on digital transaction is not practical as all people are neither educated nor have smartphones.
The members of various political parties also participated in the discussion.
