Statement:

In 2016 last year the Government of India put a ban on all 500 and 1000 Rs notes in an effort to curtail the shadow economy and crack down on the use of illegal and fake currency that funds illegal activities and terrorism.

Arguments:

I. This was the best way to tackle corruption and to stop the use of counterfeit cash.

II. Demonetisation looks like a bad idea, badly executed on the basis of some half-baked notions.
