Terming the scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes as an 'attack on terrorism', Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said it has got Pakistan worried.

The minister also said the demonetisation of higher currency notes is a step towards making the country an economic super power.

"Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes give strength to those patronising terrorism... Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken away this strength by banning these notes. Fake Indian currency notes are printed in Pakistan and circulated in the country to destroy its economy," Rajnath said at BJPs Parivartan Yatra held in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju also said the demonetisation of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes will lead to closure of printing press in Pakistan, where fake Indian currency notes are printed.
