Black Day on November 8

New Delhi, October 24: Opposition members will mark November 8, the first anniversary of demonetization, by observing a 'Black Day' across the country.

The decision was announced by Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday.

Azad told reporters that the opposition parties have worked out a joint strategy and would register their protest against the November 8, 2016, demonetisation decision.

"This particular announcement made on November 8 is the scam of the century, which is why we are observing this as Black Day."



He described the note-ban decision as the NDA government's "most ill-conceived and hasty decision".

"One can say this is a scam of the century. Eighteen political parties have decided to hold protests in every state in their capacity against the government's decision which caused hardship to the people. Never ever in the world people have died because of a government policy," Azad said.
