PM's mother visits bank for currency exchange

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 95-year-old mother Heeraben arrived at a bank in Gujarat's Gandhinagar to exchange banned currency notes. After arriving at the bank in a wheelchair, she was helped inside by two ladies accompanying her. The pictures of the nonagenarian being helped to the counter come at a time when opposition parties have been criticizing the Modi government for the inconvenience the demonetisation has caused to the public. Prime Minister's mother arrived in a wheelchair at a private bank near her home. She waited her turn and was assisted by relatives as she walked in to swap Rs. 4,500 in denominations of Rs. 500. Heeraben later posed with a brand new Rs. 2,000 note handed to her. She was almost mobbed by reporters as soon as she stepped out.
