The PM’s remarks come in wake of widespread difficulties being faced people in accessing their money in banks and all-round impact on the economy because of cash-crunch. In a rally in Bahraich, UP, he said the demonetisation move has been taken to empower the poor.

Singh has said: “All black money is not in cash, only a tiny fraction is.
