Association (AIPA), representing around 125,000 pickpockets from around the country,
has written a letter to Prime Minister Modi urging him not to convert India

community of professionals whose existence has been suddenly threatened by your
NoteBandi," said the association president in the letter. The name of the
president and address of the association could not be traced till the time of
