The Congress will gherao RBI offices across India on 18 January to protest the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, party spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said.
The Congress said:
70 days have passed. The Modi government’s and the RBI’s decision to not lift the weekly withdrawal restrictions of Rs 24,000 is treachery with the people of India… The RBI, instead of playing the role of a independent monetary regulator and a key denominator of economic growth, has become a mere post office following the diktats of the Modi government like a captive puppet.
The announcement was followed by a detailed list of leaders who will spearhead the gheraos in various states.
