JAMMU: After coming out with full support in favour of Prime Minister’s move to curb black money, National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) appealed Narendra Modi to advance the process of reforms as enunciated by him in his recent address to the people of the nation.
Addressing NMC workers meeting here, Shastri reminded that the abolition of higher currency notes was based on recommendations of Wanchoo Committee way back in 1978 but no previous Government at the Centre worth their salt dared to proceed with the process of economic reforms as Narendra Modi has done.
