Homemakers and the women working with the government and private companies have welcomed the Centre’s move to recall high value bank notes. However, at the same time, they have said that the execution of the gigantic drive should have been launched after painstaking preparations.
Amrita, a house-maker from Vani Vihar, was all praise for Narendra Modi, saying that he had launched a revolutionary move. “It would not just help the Centre weed out black money but would precipitate a sea change in public life as well as day-to-day life of the common people.
It has unleashed an upheaval in the mental world of the nation with intense churning going on. The people from all walks of life should whole-heartedly stand by the courageous PM when he is grappling with a serious crisis unleashed by his adversaries,” she said.
Sumitra, working in a government hospital, echoed the same sentiment, saying she was not scared with having no stash black money. “Those who have hoarded unaccounted money in piles are scared of the move. The honest people across the country should unite to fight those who are defending the hoarders of black money in the guise of shedding copious tears for the plight of common men. The common men are by and large happy even though they are suffering,” she said.
Nidhi Sachdeva, a school teacher, said that though the move was courageous and noble the Centre should have made thorough homework before embarking on the monumental move. “True, we are suffering because of the cash crunch staring us in the face. However, at the same time, we cannot but support the bold move of the Prime Minister who has staked everything to cleanse the country of the scourge of black money,” she said.
Vimla Rawat, a house wife from Raipur, said that she had managed to save around Rs 45, 000 in the denomination of 500 and 1000 notes secretly to buy ornaments in future. “I had to disclose it to my husband after the notes were recalled. However morally, we are with the Centre,” she said.
Urmila, working at the Collectorate, said that the move had exulted her. “The rich with huge stashes of black money are at the receiving end of the move. We have nothing to fear as we regularly pay taxes to the government,” she said.
Sushma Bisht, working in a call centre, said that they had been least affected by the drive save for the fact that they had to queue up for some days to withdraw money. “However, things being still volatile, it is very difficult to say what is in store for the nation in the aftermath of the momentous drive,” she said.
