Since the demonetisation of high currency notes, terror funding has come down to zero and there hasn't been stone-pelting on security forces, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Monday.

He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the "daring" move, which, he said, will also help clamp down on the narcotic drugs.

Earlier, there were rates: Rs 500 for stone-pelting (on security forces in Kashmir) and Rs 1,000 for doing something else. The PM has brought terror funding down to zero. In the last few days after the PM’s daring move, there hasn’t been stone pelting on security forces. I congratulate the PM for it.
