NEW DELHI: Government and opposition parties will go head-to-head on Wednesday in day-long celebrations and protests, respectively, to mark the first anniversary of demonetisation.
On the one hand, while the government has said it will celebrate November 8 as anti-black money day, and has scheduled a series of programmes with Union ministers in attendance, opposition parties including the Left party leaders will spread out across the country to observe the note ban anniversary as a 'black day' for the Indian economy.
On Wednesday, CPM leaders Brinda Karat and CPI national secretary D Raja, among others, will march from Mandi House to RBI in New Delhi to protest against what they refer to is a decision that had disastrous implications for the economy. Raja said, "Each state party unit will hold protests to highlight the poor's plight as a result of the government's disastrous decision."
