CPI (M) stage protest in Chennai against demonetisation

CPI(M) on Wednesday staged protests across Tamil Nadu against the 'unplanned move' of demonetising high denomination currency.

The party cadre led by state unit said alternative arrangements should be made for smooth availability of currency. CPI (M) secretary G.Ramakrishnan held a demonstration near Parry's Corner on NSC Bose Road. Stating that its Polit Bureau has given a call for nation-wide agitations to permit using scrapped notes, CPI(M) State Secretary G Ramakrishnan said that the party also undertook a meeting at Tirunelveli. "CPI(M) appeals to people to support the agitations to be held forsafeguarding the people's interests," he said in a statement.
