New Delhi : There are no plans to demonetise the new Rs 2,000 currency notes, the Centre said on Wednesday, scotching "rumours" to this effect. "We are seizing fake currency. As far as rumours in the market are concerned, we should not go by such rumours," Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said in the Rajya Sabha.
He was responding to a question by Congress member Madhusudan Mistry during Question Hour seeking to know if the government will demonetise Rs 2,000 currency notes as there were "strong rumours" in the market. The minister said fake currency has mostly been seized from Gujarat and West Bengal. "But it is not correct that fake currencies cannot be identified. It is not true," he said.
