Drop in prostitution due to demonetisation: Law Minister
Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has defended demonetisation saying that the economic reform had led to a drop in prostitution. The minister listed multiple benefits of note ban including a dip in supari killings in Mumbai, stone-pelting in Kashmir and Naxal violence. Dismissing Opposition's criticism, he said, "Rahul Gandhi's understanding of Indian economy is debatable".
