A year ago, the central government scrapped old notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000. What eventually came to be seen as the biggest decision taken by the Narendra Modi government, became the centre point of discussions in politics. Modi also tweeted a video of the benefits of demonetisation and another infographic on the same issue. He also thanked the people “for steadfastly supporting the several measures”.

Demonetisation is a tragedy. We stand with millions of honest Indians, whose lives & livelihoods were destroyed by PM’s thoughtless act.

Countrywide protests in the form of processions, rallies, and candle-light marches are being planned by Congress and other Opposition parties to mark the first anniversary of demonetisation. Congress, which described the note ban decision as the “biggest scam” and “the largest government-abetted money laundering scheme”, has asked all its state units to organise protests, processions, and marches to mark the day.
