PM Narendra Modi has finally spoken up in the parliament today, however, not on the request of Congress to break silence over demonetisation. Modi said, “the country is above the party” at the Parliamentary meet today.
“Before, the ruling party indulged in corruption, like with Bofors and the spectrum scam. At that time, the opposition came together to agitate, but today, the ruling party and the NDA are fighting to defeat black money and it is being opposed by the opposition”, he added.
