Equating demonitisation drive to medicine which is bitter in taste, Punjab BJP president, Vijay Sampla said that it will cure the root cause of the disease.
In his blog, Sampla blamed media for sensationalizing the issue. “The people are certainly facing difficulties with this historic decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but media, especially the TV news channels, have blown this temporary disruption out of proportions, ignoring the long-term benefits, the economic gains and the strong political will shown to combat corruption”.
Sampla wrote, “Success is never achieved without sacrifice. Our freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for our independence, but can our freedom be measured on the basis of loss of their livesIJ The role people are playing by standing in long queues, limiting their expenses and bearing patience, will be forgotten when the black money will be eliminated. A corruption-free India will dawn on us”.
