"We condemn conspiracy in the name of investigation and we condemn atrocities in the name of 'notebandi'," TMC leader Derek O'Brien told PTI as 34 Trinamool Congress MPs began the 'dharna' at South Avenue.
The sit-in in the national capital, which will continue till 6 PM, is part of TMC's nation-wide protest against the Modi government.
Similar protest is being held today and will continue for three days in Bengal, Bhubaneswar, Punjab, Kishanganj, Manipur, Tripura, Assam, Jharkhand against the note ban and the suffering that is being caused to the people, according to a TMC statement.
