People backing note ban, says Bandaru Dattatreya

Hyderabad: Union labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya on Saturday said though the common people are facing a lot of hardships due to demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, they are backing the move.

“People are standing in queue for hours together at banks to withdraw money. They are facing problems. I thank people, despite facing problems, for cooperating with the government. I thank them on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and from my side,” he said.

Mr Dattatreya said demonetisation step would be successful only with the cooperation of people. “Hoarders of black money, including politicians are scared. Common man is not scared. They are confident they will get back their money, but it will be delayed. We will strive to remove the problems,” he said.
