Five years ago, an announcement was made on this day, and that announcement had taken the people of the entire country into surprise. It was announced that suddenly there was a shock all over the country. In fact, on 8th November, at exactly 8 p.m., Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the people of the country. In his address, he had suddenly announced, "500 and 1000 notes will be discontinued from midnight. This announcement shook the entire country and no one knew what to do now. At that time, 500 and 1000 notes suddenly became junk and 86 per cent of the currency in the market at that time turned into pieces of paper. People were given time till December 31 to exchange old notes followed by long queues at petrol pumps and ATMs.
At that time, it seemed as if the whole country was in line. More than 100 people were killed at that time due to hours of long queues and chaos. There were many other causes of death, but politics began to take place on it. In no time, the Reserve Bank launched new notes to meet the requirements. At that time, the Central Government had said that the demonetisation centre has proved to be a major weapon against black money. But according to the Reserve Bank report, 99 per cent of the currency returned to banks. Tell all of you that there after that there was an increase in digital transactions. On the other hand, the GDP also declined due to demonetisation.
However, 8th November is a very special date and something historic has definitely happened on this date.
