PM Modi calls on President Pranab Mukherjee in backdrop of demonetisation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on President Pranab Mukherjee yesterday in view of the implementation of government's demonetisation exercise. Sources said, the meeting lasted for around 45 minutes. They, however, did not divulge the issues that were discussed between them.

Mr Modi is believed to have briefed the President on the developments that have taken place



in the aftermath of the launch of the demonetisation drive. The meeting came on a day when proceedings in Parliament were washed out for the second consecutive day over the demonetisation issue. 

No business could be transacted in either the Rajya Sabha or the Lok Sabha due to the uproar and both the Houses had to be adjourned for the day prematurely.
