New Delhi, Dec 7: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asked BJP MPs to campaign against black money and encourage people to embrace a digital and cashless economy.

"The Prime Minister thanked people for their support to demonetisation and asked the MPs to encourage them to go for cashless economy," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said.
