Kamal Hassan: Modi should accept demonetisation was a mistake

Actor Kamal Hassan who once supported demonetisation has apologized for supporting demonetisation and said that he will again salute Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he also accepts that the note ban was a mistake.

The actor talked about this in a Tamil magazine's article and said accepting and correcting mistakes is a marker for great leaders which Mahatma Gandhi was able to do.



Hassan said Modi should not be stubborn in arguing that the rabbit he had caught has three legs.

"I thought people should bear with minor irritants in the goal to eradicate black money," he wrote. But later when there were voices saying demonetisation was a deception and the weak response from the government raises serious doubts about the scheme.
