>> Money that has been looted has to be recovered. And the rules have to be same for everyone

>> This (demonetisation) is a big cleanliness drive of the country

>> This is not an overnight decision, first we had brought in a scheme. It's not that no opportunity was given, it was given

>> This government will do everything to protect the interests of honest citizens

>> We cannot guarantee that after the completion of this scheme, there will be no further move to keep the corrupt in check

>> I will fully back honest people and go to any extent to punish the corrupt
