Opposition parties, including the Congress, plan to hold nationwide protests on the anniversary of demonetisation on November 8.
The protests will highlight, they say, the impact of both demonetisation and hurried implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) that led to an economic slowdown, job losses and other problems for farmers and traders.
A preparatory meeting was held on Monday. An ‘Opposition Coordination Committee’ for the purpose will announce the protests at a joint press conference on Tuesday morning. Leaders said the call would be made jointly but protests will be carried out by parties on the same day
