The members of Youth Congress raised slogans while displaying Rs 2,000 notes as a mark of protest against demonetisation. Youth Congress members on Wednesday staged a protest against Narendra Modi-led government’s demonetisation in front of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in Delhi. Demonetisation completes a year today.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) celebratd the first anniversary of demonetisation as anti-black money day. The Congress, on the other hand, will observe the day as black day.

PM Modi had on November 8, 2016 announced demonetisation in televised address and after midnight currency notes in the denominations of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 were scrapped.

The members of Youth Congress raised slogans while displaying Rs 2,000 notes as a mark of protest against demonetisation. Slamming the Modi government over demonetisation, Opposition leaders had earlier announced that they would protest against the demonetisation policy of the BJP-led NDA government across India.

Members of Youth Congress and party leaders said that November 8 is a black day in India’s history. “Many lives were lost due to demonetisation. People across the country suffered for days but reaped no benefit out of note ban. Where is the black money? Why has the government not presented any figure?,” said a protesting member of the party.
