RIP Rs 500, Rs 1,000? Twitter Goes Nuts With What to Do With Notes

From jokes to sarcasm to anger, there’s everything one can imagine!

When the confusion dried out after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sudden announcement banning Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currencies, the jokes, the sarcasm and the anger came in.

No doubt, AIB was one of the first ones to come up with a hilarious response.

Never thought we'd ever get bhel inside a 500 rupee note.

Then came the “intolerance debate” sarcasm.

WHAT? No more 500 and 1000 rupee notes?
As a secular country, shouldn't we respect all denominations?

There was also a comparison with Indira Gandhi’s emergency.

Super move to phase out ₹500 /₹1000 rupee notes. 👏👏
Question for the better informed- didn't Indra Gandhi do something similar in the 70s?

The reactions were incomplete without a comparison of Modi with Mohammad Bin Tughlak.

Many people lauded Modi for this step against black money and corruption.

Welcome the path breaking step from the govt withdrawing Rs 500 & 1000 Rs currency notes. I hope it achieves the objective...
